Cross Choke Submission Using the Lapel from Closed Guard (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches a cross choke submission from closed guard using the opponent's lapel. Lucas first breaks the opponent's posture with a cross grip on one lapel, and then frees and wraps that same lapel behind the opponent's arm and across his back. When the opponent attempts to regain his posture, Lucas applies a palm-up cross grip and then punches with one or both hands to position his second arm for the cross choke submission.
