Combining Lasso Guard with De La Riva for a basic sweep:
- Start in the regular Lasso Guard position.
- When the opponent defends by bringing their knee in, transition by bringing your leg out.
- Hook your leg into De La Riva and shift your hip back to face your opponent.
- At this point, your opponent is nearly off balance.
- Post your right leg behind your opponent's leg to further compromise their balance.
- Push your opponent slightly, then place your right leg on the ground for support.
- Execute an additional push while retracting your right leg completely.
- Open your knee to transition into a half guard position.
- If possible, reach for your opponent's leg to potentially switch hips and pass their guard.
- Alternatively, you may end up with your arm inside their closed half guard.
- When the opponent posts their leg up, extend your leg and hook theirs as you scoop your body inward.
- Maintain your grip throughout the movement.
- Post your right leg behind your opponent's leg as you extend your left leg and sit up.
- Perform a technical stand-up by posting your right hand on the ground and swinging your right leg back.
- Once standing, you can push your opponent down, reach the half guard, and stabilize the position.
