Lapel Guard Escape by Stepping Over Arm to Side Control (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to escape from the lapel guard by breaking the grips by stepping over the arm. The opponent is controlling Lucas’ lapel and starts setting up the lapel guard. Lucas immediately steps back to prevent the opponent from maintaining control. He now steps over the opponent’s lapel control with his same side leg the opponent is controlling. Both knees are placed on the mat and Lucas also uses his head to push the opponent away. Lucas now starts to cut with his outside knee. Once the opponent releases the grips, he is able to pass to the side control position.
