Opening Closed Guard by Sliding Knee Through (Fundamentals)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to open the closed guard by making the opponent readjust. The opponent has Lucas in the closed guard and Lucas reaches for the belt with both hands. As he pushes on the belt, he moves himself away making the opponent readjust their guard. Lucas locks his elbows over the legs to prevent the opponent from attacking them. He stands up and steps in so he can place his knee in between the opponents. He now comes back down and uses the knee to open the opponent’s guard. From here Lucas, can now pass.
