Worm Guard Escape Variation (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to escape from the worm guard when the opponent has two hands controlling the same side lapel. The opponent has the worm guard and is controlling Lucas’ lapel with both hands. In this scenario, Lucas is not initially able to break the opponent’s grips. Lucas controls the inside of the pants and takes a step in the direction he is controlling the leg. As he steps, he creates enough space to slide his other foot in between the opponent’s legs. He now extends both of his legs pushing the opponent away. From here, Lucas can now work on passing.
