Knee Cut with Wrist Control to Kata Gatame (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to get the Kata Gatame, after attempting to pass using the knee cut pass and the opponent defends with the reverse de la riva. Lucas goes for the knee cut pass and the opponent immediately starts to defend by framing and going to the reverse de la riva. Lucas grips the bottom wrist and pins it on the mat. He now allows the opponent to get the under hook, so he can slide his other knee in to block the opponent. This allows Lucas to get to the mount position. In this variation, Lucas does not allow the opponent to get the under hook. He connects his hands together under the opponent’s head. As soon as the opponent tries to frame, Lucas pushes the arm across to get to the Kata Gatame.
