Preventing the Opponent From Escaping while Passing to Side Control (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to prevent the opponent from escaping while he is passing to the side control. Lucas is controlling the back of the pants and the opponent’s side as he is passing. The opponent tries to escape by coming up on the elbow and pushing Lucas away with his other hand. Lucas immediately uses his outside hand to pull be bicep down, preventing the escape. Lucas then continues the pass to the side control. If the opponent does not extend the arm, then Lucas can also reach for the far side arm to break the posture and pass.
