De La Riva With Lapel Control to X Guard to Back Take or Takedown (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to take the opponent down or take their back using the de la riva with the lapel control. Lucas has the De La Riva and begins to pull out the opponent's lapel so he can then grip the end and feed it to his other hand. He then grips the opponent's collar and uses his legs to push the opponent one way and when he reacts, Lucas pushes him to the other side. In this scenario, the opponent defends by pushing Lucas’ leg down. Lucas then instead goes to the X guard so he can then push the opponent away and stand up using a technical stand up. Depending on the opponent’s reaction, Lucas can either take the back or sweep the opponent.
