About this video

Execute the Lasso De La Riva side sweep to transition directly into a full mount:

  1. Start by positioning yourself for the Lasso. As your opponent extends their leg, enter a deep De La Riva hook with your left foot crossing over to the top of their other leg.
  2. Execute the sweep by bringing your opponent back. As they fall, use both hands on the ground to push off and transition to the Toreando pass position.
  3. Control your opponent's head and position yourself as if you were in side control, with your knee high against their chest to prevent them from sweeping you back.
  4. Underhook your opponent and use your shoulder to pin their shoulder down, preventing them from turning into you.
  5. Extract their arm and bring your knee close to their ribs. Drive your heel as close as possible to their leg, with your big toe touching their thigh.
  6. Lift your leg slightly to bring your right foot close to their thigh, ensuring a tight mount position.
  7. As you advance to full mount, extend your arm to stabilize the position. Bring your heels up and force your hips down to weaken your opponent's bridge.
  8. Post your hands on the ground and lock your opponent in place, ready to score points from the full mount position.
