Collar Drag Ankle Pick Takedown (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches the collar drag ankle pick takedown. Lucas begins with a cross collar grip and a grip on the opponent's wrist or sleeve. He drags the collar to the side slightly while switching his base to step behind the opponent's heel and then immediately holds behind the opponent's ankle and lifts. From this position Lucas has the option to block outside of the opponent's ankle with his foot and circle him down to the mat. He can also step laterally and block behind the opponent's leg with his own leg, completing the takedown and being careful to prevent the opponent from applying the armbar as he sets up his pass.
