North South Escape to Closed Guard (Fundamentals)

Professor Frederico Silva shows how to escape from the north south position and get to the closed guard. The opponent transitions from the side control to the north south position. Frederico grips the belt with both hands and extends his arms to keep the opponent away. When the opponent applies pressure, Frederico pendulums his legs so he can turn and comes up on his elbow. He then slides his foot in and transitions to the closed guard.
