Guard Pull with Lapel Control to De La Riva with Lapel Control to Sweep or Back Take (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to take the back or sweep the opponent using the de la riva and lapel control. Lucas starts standing controlling the arm and pulls out the lapel. He goes for a guard pull and then immediately goes for the de la riva while still controlling the lapel. He uses his legs to push the opponent away as he sits up to switch the grip on the lapel, gripping it under his leg and then also controls the same lapel side collar. As the opponent tries to push Lucas' foot off, Lucas pushes and pulls the opponent to prevent this from happening. Lucas once again switches the grip on the lapel by sliding his arm in between the opponents and his own. He now rocks forward and places his outside leg behind the opponent’s. From this position, Lucas can sweep the opponent back, or kick the legs out to take the back control.
