Add to Favorites Remove From Favorites 2451 3924 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.

Xande teaches two ways to maintain your back control though early or late prevention. The first lesson covers how to use your hooks to readjust back control to prevent your opponent from putting their shoulders and hips on the mats. The second lesson covers how to re-establish the back when your opponent has defeated both hooks but you still have the seatbelt control. In this chair sit motion to retake the back, we maintain close contact to our opponent and slide our knee up to take the back again.

Add to Favorites 1219 Remove From Favorites 3937 days ago
When taking your opponent's back with the near side hook, often times your opponent will beat you to the other side and block your far side hook from coming in leaving you in an awkward position on the back with only one hook. In this case, many people will continue to try to take their opponent's back but sometimes it's better to attack with a submission instead. In this lesson, Xande teaches how to transition to an armbar from the top turtle with one hook in.

Add to Favorites 3565 Remove From Favorites 3937 days ago
Your opponent may bridge and roll in to you as you're passing the guard or find a way to bridge into you to break the pin from side control. If your opponent is already on their side, it may be hard to re-establish control of the position. Rather than letting them reestablish their guard, spin around to the back side instead to reestablish your side control or to transition to the back.
