Mount Position to Half Guard Defense to Back Take (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to take the opponent's back, after the opponent tries to get Lucas in the half guard while he is in the mount position. Lucas has the mount and grips the cross collar to isolate the opponent’s arm. As Lucas brings the same side knee up to block the arm, the opponent reacts by trying to get the half guard. Lucas immediately drags the collar up and places his knee behind the opponent. He then falls back pulling the opponent with him. From this position, Lucas works on taking the back control.
