Lasso with Spider Guard Escape Variation to Knee Cut to Side Control (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to escape and pass when the opponent is using the lasso and spider guard. Lucas is standing and griping both the opponent’s legs by the knees. The opponent circles his foot around to go for the lasso while keeping the spider guard on the other arm. Lucas uses his knee to brace against the opponent and grips the belt. He now steps back pulling the opponent up. Both hands are circled around the legs in the same direction. In this scenario, Lucas steps back and then to the side. He starts cutting his knee over the opponent’s bottom leg. From here, he passes to the side control position.
