Sprawl Counter to Double Leg / Back Take (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to counter a sprawl, after first attempting to get a double / single leg takedown. Lucas shoots for a double leg and the opponent immediately sprawls to defend. Lucas maintains his base by placing both hands on the mat. He picks the side that the opponent's arm is under the armpit to escape. He arches his elbow out and places his opposite side knee on the mat. This bumps the opponent forward allowing Lucas to immediately under hook the near side leg. If the opponent tries to stand up, then Lucas reaches for the other leg and goes for the double leg. If the opponent stays in place, then Lucas can immediately take the back control.
