Ricardo De la Riva teaches three options to sweep your opponent from the reverse de la riva guard. In this lesson we learn how it is important to either grip your opponent's leg with your hand or to pinch their leg with the reverse de la riva to ensure that they do not use the X-pass to pass your guard. Once we are able to maintain the position, we can set our grips to set up one of the three sweeps depending on how your opponent reacts to your positioning.Add to Favorites 1694 Remove From Favorites 3928 days ago

We also learn to take our opponent to the backside using the double de la riva position which is a variation to the backside sweep that we have examined in the past de la riva positions from this seminar.Add to Favorites 1569 Remove From Favorites 3930 days ago

Ricardo De la Riva teaches an option to sweep your opponent when they are standing in your de la riva guard. Much like the ankle pick or knee pick as seen in the previous lesson, we use the same principle but come up to a standing guard instead and use a hip bump motion to sweep our opponent with the single leg. Alternatively, we can topple our opponent from the sit up guard with the knee push sweep. In this sweep we use our leg to kick out their knee or ankle and dump our opponent to the mat for the sweep.Add to Favorites 3584 Remove From Favorites 3935 days ago

Rico recalls his favorite sweeps and submission that he used as a blue belt to win the world championships.

He used the de la riva helicopter sweep and the spider guard to triangle or reverse tripod sweep a lot of his opponents and used the triangle technique shown here to win his first world title at blue belt.
