Knee Slide Pass Recovery | Reverse De La Riva

Defending against the Knee Slide Pass with Reverse De La Riva:

1. Initiate a Reverse De La Riva Hook to control distance as the opponent transitions from open guard to knee slide.
2. Use the hook to push and pull, maintaining distance and setting up for attacks.
3. Stop the opponent's knee from touching the floor by using a frame and stepping on their hips or using a Lasso if you're flexible.
4. Keep your frame strong to prevent the opponent from hugging your head and break their collar grip if they establish one.
5. Grab their collar and use your chest to push away and break the grip, then circle your hand to control their arm.
6. Place your elbow inside your knee to support and prevent them from smashing your knee.
7. If the grip break is unsuccessful, frame against the opponent's face and push them away to create space.
8. Grab the sleeve, break the grip, and push the opponent's arm inside while re-establishing collar control.
9. Use your knuckles to push their arm inside and place your elbow under your knee for support.
10. Drop your leg to the floor and push the opponent away, not backward but to the side, to create space.
11. Once space is created, step on the hips and square up to regain an open guard position.
12. Throughout the process, maintain a strong frame and use your flexibility to your advantage, whether by stepping on the hips or using a Lasso.
