Single Leg Counter Attack to Sweep to Side Control (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to counter a single leg takedown attempt. The opponent reaches for Lucas’ leg, raises it and locks his arms together. Lucas immediately defends by gripping the bottom sleeve and reaches over the back with his other hand to grip close to the armpit. He now steps forward and uses the leg the opponent is holding, to flip the opponent over. From here, Lucas can now pass to the side control position.
