De La Riva to Overhead Sweep Attempt to Reverse De La Riva Sweep to Side Control (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri demonstrates a series of guard transitions, focusing on using knee and collar control to set up sweeps and maintain dominant positions. He emphasizes using the knee to control the opponent's hip and collar, and reacting to the opponent's weight shifts. He shows how to transition from a collar grip to a lapel grip, and how to prevent the opponent from establishing posture. If the opponent pushes the practitioner's legs down, Lepri demonstrates how to maintain knee control and create space with the outside leg. He then shows how to transition from reverse de la riva to de la riva guard, using foot placement and leverage to sweep the opponent. He details how to maintain control during the sweep and transition to knee on belly, cross-face, and underhook positions.
