Executing a side roll sweep from De La Riva Guard:

  1. Start by playing De La Riva Guard with your right foot hooking inside the opponent's leg.
  2. Drop your foot down to block their knee, keeping your foot flexed to maintain a strong hook.
  3. Wait for the opponent to step forward, then connect your feet together, capturing both of their ankles.
  4. Lift the opponent by extending your legs, causing them to post their hand to maintain balance.
  5. Shift to your right side, stretching both legs to roll the opponent over.
  6. As the opponent falls, control their ankle, retract your right foot, and come on top to complete the sweep.
  7. Ensure your De La Riva hook is high and outside when controlling the opponent's ankle to prevent them from stepping back.
  8. If the opponent attempts to step back, use their motion to bring their leg forward and set up the sweep.
  9. When the opponent steps forward, secure their ankle, connect your feet, and lift to initiate the side roll.
  10. After the opponent posts and you lift them further, execute the roll to your right side and establish top position.
