Lasso Defense and Pass to Side Control when Opponent Grips Ankle (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to pass an opponent’s guard who is playing the lasso with the foot on the hip and defends by gripping his ankle. Lucas is trying to pass the opponent’s guard and the opponent has the lasso with his other leg on the hip. Lucas steps back and at the same time circles the hand in and around the leg with the Lasso. In this scenario, when Lucas comes back in with his knee the opponent grips the ankle. Lucas immediately reaches for the opponent’s back and applies the shoulder pressure to finish passing to the side control position.
