Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to sweep using the X guard, starting with a reverse de la riva. Lucas starts with the reverse de la riva controlling the collar and arm. He pushes and then pulls the opponent in. This allows Lucas to reach for the far side leg. He once again pushes the opponent away now with the leg control. This creates enough space to where Lucas can switch his legs to the X guard. Lucas now slides his hand over the leg to grip the sleeve. He now brings the opponent back and uses his far side leg to post on the mat, helping him sweep the opponent back. He maintains control to not allow the opponent to place their back on the mat. Lucas instead pulls up on the arm to complete the sweep. From here, Lucas adjusts his grips and finishes the pass with a knee cut pass.
