Reestablishing Back Control when Opponent Tries to Escape (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to maintain the back control when the opponent tries to escape. The opponent is in Lucas’ back control and tries to escape by turning to the side, unhooking one leg and tries to escape his shoulder from Lucas’ seat belt grip. As soon as Lucas sees this, he makes sure to trap the opponent’s arm with an Americana lock. He then uses the lock to turn the opponent to the side by pulling on the arm. The then brings his knee up behind the opponent and brings him to the other side, reestablishing the back control.
