Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to escape the spider guard with lasso and get to the side control or back take. The opponent has the spider guard and then starts to go for the lasso. As the opponent is transitioning to the lasso, Lucas immediately circles his arm and cups the thigh. The opponent releases the grip on the lasso in an attempt to re-grip somewhere else. Lucas takes advantage of this to immediately pull the other leg up and leg drags to the side. From here, Lucas can get to the side control or take the back if the opponent starts to turn.
