Transitioning from De La Riva to a low single leg takedown:

  1. Start with a De La Riva hook using your left foot and place your right foot on the opponent's hip or quad.
  2. Turn your knee in slightly to force the opponent's knee to turn in as well, making it harder for them to break the De La Riva hook.
  3. Extend your right foot against the opponent's hip and sit up in one motion.
  4. Place your left hand on the mat while your right hand hooks around the opponent's leg.
  5. Quickly lift your buttocks off the mat and kick your left leg back to initiate the takedown.
  6. Maintain control of the leg and immediately look to drag it across into a leg drag position.
  7. Upon completing the sweep, don't settle. Immediately look to pass the guard and move into an advantageous position.
  8. Practice coming up on top and immediately attacking with a pass, such as a knee cut or leg drag, to avoid a neutral game and score more points.
