Straight Ankle Lock Escape when in One Leg X to Side Control (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to escape from a straight ankle lock attempt, when in the one leg x. Lucas starts to defend by gripping the bottom leg and places his other hand on the foot. He pushes down on both and turns his knee in. The hand that was on the foot is now placed on the mat near the opponent’s head. Lucas now back steps as he pushes the leg down. He controls the hips and then transitions to the side control.
