Guard Pull Prevention Variation Using the Knee to Side Control (Drill)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches a drill on how to prevent the opponent from jumping guard. Lucas and the opponent start standing and Lucas has the grips on the collar and arm. As the opponent places the foot on the hip, Lucas blocks the hip with the hand he was gripping the arm with. In this variation, Lucas brings his knee in and places it on the inside of the opponent’s leg. The hand that was on the hip now goes under and around the leg to grip the opposite side collar. Lucas now turns to the side and gets the side control position.
