Ouchi Gari Takedown Variation (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to take the opponent down using a variation of the ouchi gari by isolating the opponent’s side. Lucas starts with the collar and arm control. He releases his own grip on the opponent’s arm so he can use it to break the opponent’s grip. Lucas lets go of the collar and he pushes the arm away with his other hand. He now pulls the arm across and reaches over that same arm to grip the opponent’s back. Lucas now moves around to make the opponent step forward. Once the opponent steps forward, Lucas goes for the ouchi gari takedown.
