Deep Half Guard Escape to Back Take (Advanced)

Special guest Paulo Santana, head instructor at Lucas Lepri Jiu Jitsu Academy in Winston Salem, teaches how to take the opponent’s back when they go for the deep half guard. As the opponent goes to the deep half guard, Paulo pushes on the leg and grips the back of the opponent’s pants. He then uses his legs to push the opponent away escaping the deep half guard. From this position, Paulo now works on taking the opponent's back.
