Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to escape from the de la riva with the lasso and passes with the knee cut pass. The opponent has the de la riva and is also controlling the lapel with the lasso. Lucas starts to defend immediately gripping the lasso side sleeve and lowers his base. As he lowers his base, he also spreads his legs apart. He now grips the other leg and starts to push it down. He slides his shin over the opponent’s and then posts on the mat with his hand so he can now bring his other leg over for the knee cut pass. From here, Lucas then passes to the side control.
