Open Guard Leg Drag Pass to Side Control Drill (Drill)

Professor Lucas Lepri demonstrates a drill to practice transitioning to side control from the open guard. As the opponent sits up and tries to go for the collar, Lucas at the same time also goes for the opponents collar but also grabs the opponents leg. He then steps to the side of the same side that he is holding the opponent’s leg. Making sure his legs are far enough from the opponent for him not to reach his legs. As the opponent tries to turn himself and face Lucas, Lucas then steps to the opposite side and repeats this side to side movement until he is able to pass and apply the pressure on his opponent, finishing in side control.
