Knee Cut Pass Attempt to Reverse De La Riva Pass Variation to Side Control (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to pass to the side control when the opponent has the reverse de la riva and reaches for Lucas’ leg. Lucas starts to pass using the knee cut pass and the opponent reacts by going to the reverse de la riva. In this scenario, Lucas keeps his leg too close and the opponent under hooks it. Lucas immediately points his knee in, posts his hand on the mat and back steps with his other leg away from the opponent. The opponent tries to turn into Lucas and Lucas blocks him by placing his arm in between the legs. From here, Lucas then transitions to the side control position.
