De La Riva Defense to Knee Cut Pass with Knee Shield to Side Control (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to defend the De La Riva and go to the knee cut pass, then to the side control. Lucas grips the pants and the collar, he then steps back pulling the opponent up. He immediately turns the opponent to the side so he can go for the knee cut pass. The opponent tries to defend by blocking Lucas with a knee shield. Lucas continues the pass by applying all the pressure on his knee. Lucas’ hand now replaces his knee so he can start passing to the side control. If the opponent tries shrimping out, Lucas just follows with his hips on the opponent’s and then transitions to the side control.
