One Leg X-Guard Escape to Armbar Submission (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows a variation of the one leg X-Guard pass to the armbar submission. As the opponent has Lucas in their one leg X-Guard, the first thing Lucas does is grab the opponents collar opposite to the opponent’s leg that is on his hip. Once he does this, he can then work on removing the opponent's leg by grabbing the foot and pushing it down and away from him so he can then also grab the other collar with his other hand. In this situation, the opponent tries to push Lucas forward. At this point is when Lucas prevents prevents this by posting with his left leg forward and out. Right after he posts with his leg, he then releases the second collar grip and loops his arm behind his own right leg and posts his hand on the ground next to the opponent’s hips. He then steps his left leg forward and puts all his weight on his arm that is posting. In this scenario, the opponent does not release Lucas’ collar grip. Lucas takes advantage of this and immediately releases the grip on the opponent’s lapel, grabs the arm, brings his leg over the opponent’s head and gets the armbar submission.
