Knock Down 2

Initiate a knockdown to set up the Berimbolo when the opponent steps over for a knee cut pass or forces any type of pass. This technique is effective whether the opponent initiates or you force the action.

1. React immediately when the opponent steps over your leg to avoid giving them time to settle into a comfortable position.
2. Use the foot behind the opponent's butt to kick them forward, aiming to bring their hands to the mat and shift their weight forward.
3. As the opponent tries to return to their feet, rotate with them, re-establish the De La Riva hook, and place your foot on their hip.
4. Drag the opponent to the mat by creating an angle and using the grip on their collar to pull them down as they fall back to their heels.
5. If the opponent is not initiating the pass, you can force the reaction by hooking behind their leg and kicking forward to create the same knockdown opportunity.
6. Whether the opponent pushes down on the leg or you hook it yourself, the motion remains the same: push down the leg, kick over, and knock them down as they come back.
