Defending Lapel Control While Passing to Knee Cut Pass (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to go for the knee cut pass, after defending the opponent’s attempt to control Lucas’ lapels. The opponent jumps guard and under hooks Lucas’s leg. He immediately feeds Lucas’ lapel to the under hooked hand. Lucas starts to defend by gripping the opponent’s collar and pants and then applies pressure. The opponent kicks his leg up and Lucas turns his knee away and then kicks it out. From here, Lucas immediately goes for the knee cut pass.
