De La Riva Sweep Variation (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches a sweep, starting from the de la riva. Lucas starts with the de la riva pushing and pulling the opponent to make them lose base. Lucas shifts his hips slightly to the side and under hooks the de la riva side leg. The de la riva is released and Lucas hooks the opponent between the legs with his other leg. Lucas once again pushes and pulls the opponent to make him lose base. When the opponent passes in front, Lucas then under hooks the leg with his other hand. He pushes the opponent back and slides his bottom leg in between the opponent’s. Lucas now uses his legs and grips on the pants to push the opponent away. As soon as the opponent falls back, Lucas moves his hips back to create distance and then moves back in.
