Heel Hook Escape Variation (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to escape from a heel hook attempt, when the opponent tries to pass and locks Lucas’ leg in a figure four. The opponent is trying to pass and then leg drags Lucas’ leg. He sits back and locks the legs in a figure four in an attempt to get the heel hook submission. Lucas immediately turns his heel back and turns to the side. He uses one hand to push the knee away as he posts on the mat with his other hand. Lucas then brings his other foot in to help him push the leg away. He now pushes away and rolls to the other side to escape.
