Guard Pull Defense to Side Control Drill (Drill)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows a drill to defend when the opponent goes for the guard pull. Lucas and the opponent are both standing and the opponent decides to go for the guard pull. Lucas prevents it by immediately pushing the opponent's leg to the side, as soon as the opponent tries to guard pull. Lucas then comes in and goes for the side control. If the opponent is able to place their foot on the hip, then Lucas once again grips the leg and steps back to push the leg to the side. He then does a leg drag and finishes in the side control position.
