De La Riva to X Guard Sweep To Knee Bar (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to get a knee bar submission, starting from the de la riva. Lucas is playing open guard and goes for the de la riva. He uses the de la riva to off balance the opponent, creating space to transition to the x guard. Lucas now uses the x guard to sweep the opponent over. As Lucas sweeps, he maintains his knee in between the opponent’s leg. He uses this knee to cut over the opponent’s leg, allowing him to spin around the leg. This lands Lucas in the right position for the knee bar submission.
