De La Riva to Lapel Control Escape to Leg Drag to Side Control (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to prevent and escape from the opponent who is using the lapel control to attack. The opponent starts with the de la riva and then slides the lapel over Lucas’ leg and grips it under the same side leg. Lucas immediately grips the leg and the back of the pants to halt the opponent. He then sits to the side and uses his knee to help him escape his other foot. Lucas now comes up and leg drags the opponent so he can then pass to the side control position.
