One Leg X Escape to Side Control (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri demonstrates how to escape from the one leg X position. The opponent has Lucas in the One Leg X and Lucas starts to work the escape by gripping the back of the pants to keep the opponent’s hips off the ground. The other hand is used to push the one leg X foot down. Lucas now grips the collar and starts stepping his foot out to make the opponent release the leg. Lucas then reaches for the back grip and switches his hips so he can then transition to the side control position.
