Michael shows a drill similar to the last drill transitioning between De La Riva and reverse De La Riva, but instead of going back to where he started, this time he switches the side he plays De La Riva on. When his opponent steps to reverse De La Riva, Michael gets a cross collar and pants grip. He uses his foot on the hip to stretch his opponent away, then readjusts the foot to the inside of the hip and swings his other leg out and makes a De La Riva hook on the other leg. Now he repeats the drill from side to side.Add to Favorites 1524 Remove From Favorites 3123 days ago
