De la Riva | Long Step Pass | To Leg Drag

Executing a long step pass to leg drag against De la Riva guard:

1. Start with a thumb-inside grip on the collarbone and pull the opponent up, using your elbow to counter the De la Riva hook and a C-grip on their ankle.
2. Push their leg down and perform a small back step to free your leg from the De la Riva hook.
3. When jumping over the opponent's leg, ensure your knee controls their leg by pinching it behind their thigh to prevent them from regaining the hook.
4. If the opponent places a knee shield, grab their collar to prevent them from going under you and switch your other hand to a grip on top of their knee, closing your elbow to smash their knee down.
5. Execute a long step, pushing the opponent's leg down to transition to the leg drag position. As you do this, lean forward, placing your forehead on their shoulder for control and balance.
6. Go onto your toes and use your shoulder to press against their leg as you switch sides, looking in the direction you are moving to.
7. Bring the opponent's leg over your lap and secure it with your elbow to prevent them from reinserting their knee.
8. Release the grip on the collar and slide your hand under the opponent's hips to control them.
9. Secure a grip on the opponent's pants, pull up towards your shoulder while pressing down under their buttocks, and stabilize in the leg drag position.
