Lapel Choke with Own Lapel from Side Control to North-South (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri demonstrates a choke from the side control using his own lapel. Lucas first frees his own lapel while maintaining a strong side control position using the crossface and shoulder pressure. When his opponent frames against Lucas’ neck to relieve the shoulder pressure, Lucas feeds the lapel around the opponent’s neck and grips the gi cloth next to the lapel with the hand that is applying the crossface. Now, he blocks the opponent’s hips as he transitions to North South, using his legs on the opponent’s head if necessary to complete the choke.
