Combining Lasso Guard with De La Riva for a basic sweep:

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