Counter the De La Riva (DLR) guard when attempting to pass:

  1. Start in the opponent's closed guard. As you stand up to break the guard, the opponent may open their guard to transition to De La Riva guard.
  2. As the opponent opens their guard and attempts to insert their leg for the DLR hook, prepare to counter.
  3. Control the opponent's collar with your right hand and their sleeve with your left hand.
  4. As the opponent grabs your sleeve and ankle to establish DLR control, step on the ground with both feet.
  5. Before the opponent can fully establish the DLR hook, control their pants near the DLR hook with your left hand while maintaining collar grip with your right hand.
  6. Kick your right leg down to break the DLR hook and sit on top of the opponent's thigh to prevent them from re-establishing the hook.
  7. Bring your right leg back and position yourself to the side of the opponent, establishing side control.
  8. Repeat the sequence smoothly and in real time to effectively counter the DLR hook and pass the guard.
