De La Riva to Sit-Up Guard Sweep (Fundamentals)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches a sweep to side control from sit-up guard. Lucas begins with double sleeve grips in De La Riva guard before establishing the sit-up guard with a cross sleeve grip around the leg and a grip on the upper collar or back of the opponent. He then drops his foot from the hip to the ankle and sweeps by pushing the ankle and dragging the opponent to the mat. Lucas maintains his grips on the sleeve and back, and then finishes the pass by back-stepping, blocking the opponent’s hip, and settling into side control.
