About this video

Execute a basic double hip guard sweep from the De La Riva guard when the opponent has their knee down:

  1. Maintain the grip inside the opponent's guard and use the foot to hip escape slightly, placing the foot on the outside of the opponent's knee.
  2. Pull the opponent's knee out while simultaneously pulling their arm to initiate the sweep.
  3. Extend the upper body and use the bottom leg to come on top, maintaining the grip.
  4. Transition to the elbow, coming up first, then decide whether to switch to an underhook or grab the lapel.
  5. Perform a knee cut over the opponent's knee while pulling their arm up to secure side control.
  6. Ensure the De La Riva hook and grips are tight, using the leg to create the necessary angle for the sweep.
  7. Keep the grip on the opponent's belt to prevent them from breaking it and attempting to pass.
  8. After the opponent falls, maintain the grip or switch to an underhook, sliding the knee over theirs and securing the arm tightly to the body until transitioning to side control.
