Turtle Position Escape to Closed Guard (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to recover the guard after a turtle position escape. Lucas is in the turtle position and the opponent is trying to get the seat belt grip from the top. Lucas works on preventing the opponent from establishing control. When the time is right, Lucas reaches for the far side leg with his inside arm and posts out with his other hand. He slightly turns his hips so he can bring his outside knee up. He then slides his inside leg through and pulls the arm in to get the closed guard on the opponent.
