Cross Choke Attempt to Back Take When Opponent Defends (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to take the opponent’s back after attempting to get a cross choke. Lucas has the opponent in his closed guard and breaks down his posture. He starts to pull the same side lapel and feeds it to his other hand under the arm and over the shoulder. He now switches grips once again and feeds the lapel to the other hand. Lucas now has a cross collar grip. Lucas tries to reach over the opposite shoulder to grip the material, but the opponent defends and pushes with his arm on Lucas. Lucas bends the arm in to break the posture. He puts his hips to the side and pulls the opponent down. He reaches over and gets the body triangle. From here, Lucas then rolls the opponent to take the back.
