Open Guard Defense to De La Riva to Armbar (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to defend against an opponent attempting to pass his open guard and then transitions to a De La Riva finishing with an armbar submission. The opponent grips Lucas’ collar and knee and circles around Lucas’ leg. Lucas uses a grip on the opponent’s bicep to prevent the opponent from completing the pass, then brings his knee in under the opponent’s arm and blocks the opponent’s hips, then recomposes the guard. Lucas then transitions to the De La Riva guard, gripping both of the opponent’s upper arms. He pulls the opponent down as he lifts his legs and raises the opponent. Once the opponent is in the air, Lucas drops one leg and the opponent hits the mat with Lucas getting the armbar submission.
