Back Take with De La Riva and Sleeve Control (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to prevent the opponent from using the knee cut to pass. Lucas starts with the de la riva and pulls out the lapel to feed it to his outside hand, under the opponent’s leg. The opponent pushes Lucas’ leg down and attempts to pass using the knee cut. Lucas closes the gap with his legs. He then squares back up and switches the grip on the sleeve. He brings the opponent in by bending his knees. This allows Lucas to reach for the pants. Lucas then uses his legs to lift the opponent, and as he kicks out, he is able to take the opponent’s back.
