De La Riva Pass to Leg Drag to Seatbelt when Opponent Defends (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows a De La Riva pass when the opponent tries to defend. The opponent starts the De La Riva guard with one hand on Lucas’ sleeve and the other on the pants. Lucas starts the pass by pushing the opponent’s legs down and stepping back. As he does this, the opponent reacts by putting his foot up to prevent the pass and tries to recompose. As soon as the opponent reacts, Lucas steps forward with one leg and leg drags the opponent. The opponent tries to come back to the guard and Lucas blocks him by placing his knee on the opponent's back and his far side hand on the thigh, while still holding the pants with his other hand. Lucas then releases the grip on the pants and grips the collar behind the opponent’s neck to prevent the opponent from moving. He then releases the grip on the thigh, slides his hand through and secures the seatbelt position.
