Heel Hook Prevention with Knee Cut Pass Attempt (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches a heel hook prevention technique that he applied in one of his fights at the ADCC 2019 tournament. Lucas starts to go for the knee cut pass and the opponent counters by sliding his leg over the knee cut and under the other leg. Lucas defends by controlling that leg and pushes it down to the mat. As the opponent turns, Lucas puts all his weight on the opponent’s leg. He back steps and follows the opponent to try the knee cut pass once again. The opponent tries to turn and Lucas is able to secure the back take.
