Side Control Escape to X Guard Overhead Sweep (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to escape from side control and sweep the opponent with an overhead sweep, using the X guard. Lucas is in the opponent’s side control position and his hands are controlling the opponent's shoulder. Lucas bumps the opponent and is able to slide his inside knee in to block. The opponent starts to stand up in an attempt to pass and Lucas immediately hooks the leg with his outside foot. He raises the leg to slide the opponent’s leg up to his shoulder allowing him to get to the x guard position. He now grips the opponent’s sleeve over the leg. From here, Lucas elevates the opponent using the x guard and does a back roll to sweep the opponent over the head.
