De La Riva Folding Pass (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to pass open guard with the folding pass. Lucas first chooses a side and forces his opponent to begin playing De La Riva guard. Lucas then pushes the De La Riva hook down, traps the opponent's other leg, and holds the neck with a collar tie grip. At this point Lucas begins the folding pass, trapping and folding the opponent's knee and locking his hands around the head and arm. He drives his knee behind the opponent's thigh, circles his foot over the leg, and waits for the opponent to attempt to escape. When he does, Lucas lifts his knee and secures side control.
