Standing Lapel Control to De La Riva to Sit Up Guard with Lapel Control to Sweep (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to sweep the opponent from the de la riva while having the lapel control. While standing, Lucas is controlling the arm and reaches for the lapel with his other hand to pull it out. He places the foot on the hip and drops down to the de la riva position while maintaining the lapel control. Lucas now sits up and feeds the lapel behind the leg to his other hand and goes back to the de la riva position. He adjusts his hips to the side so he can extend his near side leg out and reaches under the leg to switch the grip on the lapel to his other hand. From here, Lucas raises his hips so he can place his leg over the opponent’s knee. Lucas now turns to the side to sweep the opponent. Depending on the opponent’s reaction, Lucas can go to the mount, armbar or back take.
