Lasso Prevention Variation to Side Control (Intermediate)

Special guest Felipe Linhares teaches a technique at Lucas Lepri Jiu Jitsu Academy. In this technique, Felipe shows how to prevent the opponent from establishing the lasso from the spider guard. The opponent has the spider guard and tries to circle one leg around to go for the lasso. As soon as the opponent goes for it, Felipe immediately circles his hand out and places it on top of the opponent’s tight. He then circles his other hand around the leg and pushes the leg down. In this scenario, the opponent tries to follow with the leg. Felipe prevents it by stepping over and trapping the leg. He then moves to the side control by controlling the pants and sprawling over the opponent’s leg.
