Backwards Sweep

Executing the backwards sweep from De La Riva guard:

1. Start by holding the belt and setting up for the initial sweep.
2. When the opponent shifts their weight to counterbalance, posturing backwards, adjust your strategy.
3. Shift your hip back to create space to place your foot inside their knee.
4. Maintain your grip on the belt and switch your other grip to their heel.
5. With the grips secured, kick upwards to off-balance your opponent while trapping their leg with yours.
6. Use the belt grip to push them down as you trap their leg with an underhook.
7. Release the belt grip and switch your legs using a windshield wiper motion to complete the sweep.
8. If you encounter resistance when trying to come up on your elbow, you can use your hand to assist or quickly recover your leg to maintain the hook.
9. Keep the grip on the heel to prevent the opponent from escaping or countering with their own sweep.
10. Use your head for additional control as you execute the windshield wiper motion to finalize the sweep.
