Open Guard Pass Defense Drill (Drill)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows a drill that prevents the opponent from passing his open guard. Lucas is sitting up, playing the open guard. His opponent is standing and trying to pass. As soon as the opponent grips Lucas’ pants by the knee, Lucas immediately places his hands on the opponent’s biceps and grips the Gi with his palms facing in. The opponent tries to pass and Lucas uses the grips to keep the opponent away. The opponent steps to either side and Lucas lifts his feet and spins following the opponent.
