Inverted Arm Lock

When an opponent deals with the Reverse De La Riva by kneeling and underhooking the top leg, it's challenging to spin for control. To counter this:

1. Maintain space and control the distance using one hand on the opponent's shoulder and the other inside their bicep.
2. Upon noticing a bend in the opponent's elbow, place one hand on their head and underhook the arm.
3. Pass the leg over the opponent's head while gripping their arm, curling the hand in and lifting with the elbow to create a Kimura-like grip.
4. Lock hands palm to palm with the elbow close to the chest after the leg passes over the head.
5. Ensure the top leg goes through to the opponent's hip, extending away and placing the foot inside, then come onto the shoulder.
6. As the arm pops out, control the thumb, squeeze the knees together, and secure the armbar finish.

This technique provides a powerful armbar finish when the opponent attempts to control the leg in the Reverse De La Riva position.
