De La Riva Guard Pass to Leg Drag to Back Take (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri Lucas Lepri demonstrates how to pass an opponent’s guard who is using the De La Riva. Lucas starts by pushing both of the opponent’s legs down. As the opponent reacts, Lucas immediately straightens his leg and leg drags the opponent’s leg trapping the ankle with his elbow and thigh. In this scenario the opponent tries to circle their leg back and Lucas blocks the hip and pushes the other knee down so he can fall on the opponent controlling the hips. In this scenario, the opponent tries to hip escape away. Lucas still has one hand under the opponent and reaches with his other hand over the back and grips the shoulder. Lucas moves up and jumps over the opponent pulling him back into the back control position.
