Knee Cut to Folding Pass (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to pass the reverse De La Riva guard when the opponent hugs his own leg to defend against the knee cut. In this case, Lucas grips the opponent's sleeve on the hugging arm, points his cutting knee to the opposite side, and steps laterally to fold the opponent's legs. From here Lucas releases the sleeve and block's the opponent's hips. Lucas then lowers his head when the opponent defends, and he traps the opponent's legs with a hook to clear the way for him to complete the pass into side control.
