X Guard Sweep to Straight Ankle Lock Starting from De La Riva (Advanced)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to get the straight ankle lock after sweeping the opponent using the x guard. Lucas starts with the da la riva and the opponent tries to knee cut pass. Lucas immediately defends by switching to the reverse de la riva. Lucas now switches the grip from the leg and now grips it over his own leg. He now hooks the opponent’s foot with his own and uses it to lift the opponent’s legs up to get to the x guard. Once in the x guard, the opponent grips Lucas’ collar. Lucas grips his own opposite side collar and uses his other hand to grip the opponent’s sleeve to trap the arm. From here, Lucas sweeps the opponent over and immediately finishes with the straight ankle lock.
