Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to use the de la riva to stand up and take the opponent down. Lucas has the de la riva on the opponent and then slides his arm under the leg and grips his own shin. He then pushes the opponent away using his leg on the inside of the opponent. While still controlling the other leg, Lucas now circles the leg around the opponent’s leg to break the grip. Lucas nos uses both of his legs to push the opponent away so he can do a technical stand up. Both the opponent and Lucas are now standing and Lucas takes the opportunity to take him down by tripping the leg.
