Guard Passing | Single Leg X | Estima/Tama Lock

Escaping the Single Leg X-Guard with a leg drag and Estima Lock:

1. When trapped in Single Leg X-Guard, avoid pushing the opponent's foot inwards as it may lead to disqualification in IBJJF competitions.
2. Instead, turn your hip away from the opponent and use your hands to control their knee and ankle, or the pants for better grip.
3. Push the opponent's leg out from between your legs to lighten their control.
4. Go under the opponent's leg to initiate a leg drag, dropping your knee heavily to secure the position.
5. Anticipate the opponent placing their foot on your hip to prevent the leg drag and recover their guard.
6. As the opponent pushes on your belly to recover, set up the Estima Lock by creating a concave with your body and holding their leg.
7. Fall back and step forward, sitting on your butt to apply the lock.
8. Apply heavy pressure with your knee turned inwards, facing away from the opponent, to make your knee heavy.
9. Use a C-grip on the opponent's ankle to force it out if possible, setting up a leg drag.
10. When the opponent pushes your belly, secure the Estima Lock, squeeze your belly, and fall back to get the tap.
