Description

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to take the back starting with the De La Riva and then uses the berimbolo. Lucas starts with the De La Riva and uses it to push the opponent away to unbalance him. He sits up and reaches for the opponent’s pants around the waist. As he pulls the opponent back, he under hooks the near side leg and goes to the berimbolo. The shin is now placed behind the opponent’s leg so it can be used to push the opponent away. In this scenario, the opponent reacts by putting his back on the mat in an effort to escape. Lucas stretches his legs out and uses the momentum to come back and rolls the opponent. He makes sure his own knee is pointing up to block and prevent the opponent from escaping. Lucas then switches his grip on the back of the pants and reaches for the back of the collar. Lucas now pulls the opponent down as he also kicks his legs out. From here, Lucas takes the back.
