Cross Collar Choke Escape from Closed Guard (Fundamentals)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to escape from the cross collar choke when he is in the opponent’s closed guard. Lucas is in the opponent’s closed guard and the opponent is able to slide both hands in to grip the collar. The opponent starts to squeeze the choke as he uses his legs to pull Lucas in. Lucas escapes by gripping the opponent’s collar and starts to push and apply pressure. He comes up and uses his other hand to block the opponent’s hips. Lucas turns to the side using his hips and the opponent releases the cross collar choke.
