Open Guard to Spider and Half Lasso to Triangle Attempt to Sweep Variation to Knee Cut (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to sweep the opponent, when the opponent defends a triangle. Lucas starts with the open guard controlling the opponent’s sleeves so he can position himself with the spider and half lasso. The opponent starts to apply pressure in an attempt to pass. Lucas drops his lasso side leg and uses it to push the opponent's leg back. He now immediately elevates both legs over the shoulder and under the arm, locking his feet together to go for the triangle choke. The opponent reacts by sitting back and places his knee in between Lucas’ legs to defend. Lucas unlocks his legs, places one foot on the bicep and shrimps out. In this variation, Lucas slides his outside foot behind the opponent’s knee and across the body. He extends the foot on the bicep and pulls on the sleeve with his other hand to sweep the opponent over. Lucas switches his hooks and comes up so he can pass using the knee cut.
