Saulo shows another sweep from the De La Riva guard, when his opponent is keeping a heavy base. He first removes his far foot from his opponent's thigh, and brings it under the front leg like a reverse De La Riva hook. Now he turns the wheel and spins his body, lifting his opponent's leg off the ground, opening up several options for him. In this case, his opponent sits back, so Saulo rolls similar to a berimbolo but brings his leg over the head and finishes on top.

Saulo shows two sweeps he likes to hit right away on his opponent from the De La Riva guard. For the first sweep, he grips the pants and moves his De La Riva hook to the hip, and hooks behind the knee with his other foot. He pushes the hip and pulls the knee to sweep his opponent. For the second sweep, he keeps the pants grip and grabs the lapel, and uses his legs to take his opponent up and over, rolling backward to finish on top.Add to Favorites 1478 Remove From Favorites 3300 days ago

Andre shares insight that it's often easy to find the kimura right off these series of reverse de la riva sweeps due to the grips that you have already established.

In this case we have the option to transition into the kimura trap which opens up more ways to advance position or submit your opponent.Add to Favorites 3425 Remove From Favorites 3600 days ago
