Lasso Escape Variation to Side Control (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to escape from the lasso when he is not able to circle his hand out. The opponent starts with spider guard and goes for the lasso. In this scenario, Lucas is not able to circle his hand out on the lasso side. He concentrates on his other hand by circling it under the leg so he can grip the pants near the knee. He pushes that leg down and starts walking to the lasso side. Lucas now uses his shoulder pressure to break the lasso grip. From here, Lucas passes to the side control position.
