De La Riva Sweep Attempt to One Leg X Sweep (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to sweep the opponent using the one leg x. Lucas starts with the de la riva controlling the pants and collar. The opponent pushes Lucas’ inside leg down in an attempt to start passing. Lucas pulls the opponent in to make them post their hand on the mat. This makes the opponent’s far side leg light. Lucas takes advantage of this and lifts the leg so he can take his own leg out, and circles it over the opponent’s for the one leg x position. Lucas attempts to sweep the opponent back, but the opponent defends and comes back. Lucas now under hooks the leg as the opponent reapplies pressure and places it near the shoulder. He releases the grip on the collar and now grips the far side leg near the knee. Lucas now elevates the opponent using his legs and knee to sweep back.
