One Leg X-Guard to X-Guard Sweep to Combat Base (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri demonstrates a sweep starting from the one leg X-Guard. Lucas first shows how to recompose the one leg X-Guard when an opponent pushes the foot off the hip. Lucas uses other leg to bump his opponent over his head while blocking both legs, forcing his opponent to post both arms on the mat. From here, Lucas pivots on his upper back to reestablish the one leg X-Guard. As the opponent stands back up and faces Lucas, Lucas grips the bottom of the opponent’s pants on his free leg. Lucas switches to the X-Guard and the opponent reacts by sitting with his weight on Lucas. Lucas lifts the opponent slightly and pushes him back while maintaining the grips on each leg, forcing the opponent to fall back. From here, Lucas can come up into combat base.
