De La Riva Guard Pass to Side Control (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to pass the opponent’s guard when they are using the de la riva. Lucas starts by gripping both legs below the knees to push them down. He back steps with his far side leg and then steps back in placing his leg behind the opponent’s to open the legs. Lucas now lowers his posture to grip the lower back. He uses his other knee to slide it over the opponent’s leg. He now brings his other knee over and connects the to pass to the side control.
