Defeating the Lapel Guard
2 Part Lesson - Marcelo defeats the guard by directing himself towards the opponent's occupied hand. The moment an opponent grabs your lower lapel, a small window to close the distance is created on that same side - because, the opponent's hand is occupied holding and not framing. Direct yourself towards that side, but run towards the opposing side, if the opponent pushes and frames in defense. If the opponent grips your pant cuff to immobilize you, again run towards his occupied hand.
