Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to get a choke from the crucifix. The opponent goes for a single leg or double leg take down, and Lucas immediately sprawls pushing the head down to the mat. Lucas moves to the side and seat belt grips over the back. He places his inside knee underneath the opponent's arm to lift it. He then loops his outside leg over the arm to isolate it. He now puts his bottom leg forward while he maintains the arm hooked with his top leg. Lucas now falls back and slides his arm around the neck for the choke while controlling one of the opponent’s hands. If he cannot finish, then he releases the opponent’s hand and then locks his arms together to finish.
