About this video

Executing a Triangle from the De la Riva guard with lapel control involves the following steps:

  1. Start by passing the lapel to the leg that has the De la Riva hook.
  2. When the opponent places their hand near your hip to apply pressure and prevent movement, maintain lapel control without letting go.
  3. Release the double heel hook while still holding the lapel.
  4. Move the opponent's arm across by feeding the lapel to your hand under their leg, keeping everything tight.
  5. As the opponent continues to apply pressure, remove the De la Riva hook and insert the leg inside the gi.
  6. Secure the position by placing the hook and completing the triangle setup.
