De La Riva to Modified X Guard to Technical Stand Up Sweep, Ankle Pick or Back Take (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to sweep the opponent, starting from the de la riva using a modified x guard. Lucas has the de la riva and the opponent pushes the top leg down. Lucas immediately locks his feet together behind the leg and uses them to push the opponent forward to unbalance. With the opponent posting out, Lucas now reaches for the far side leg and under hooks it to spin underneath. He now uses his bottom foot to push on the leg in a modified x guard. Lucas does a technical stand up and pulls the leg up with him. If Lucas is not able to keep the pants grip as he comes up, then he can go for the ankle pick and take the opponent down. If the ankle can’t be reached, then Lucas can just take the back control.
