Guard Pull Defense Variation with Hand On Hip to Side Control (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows a variation on how 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. The opponent goes for the guard pull on the same side he is gripping the arm. Lucas immediately uses his opposite side hand to block the opponent’s hip and jumps over the opponent’s legs to the side. From here, Lucas takes the side control position.
