De La Riva with Lapel Control Sweep or Single Leg Takedown (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to sweep the opponent or go to the single leg, starting from the de la riva with the lapel control. Lucas starts with the de la riva and reaches for the lapel so he can feed it under the opponent’s leg on the de la riva hook side and grips it with his other hand. Lucas now pulls and pushes the opponent to the side. As the opponent bases on the mat, he also turns his knee in to try to defend. Lucas now circles his outside leg around and places it under the opponent’s belt. He reaches for the far side sleeve and pushes the opponent to sweep. If Lucas can’t reach for the sleeve, then he can do a technical stand up and take the opponent down with a single leg takedown.
