Leg Lasso - Opposite Side Leg Drag

Counteracting a tight leg lasso from the Reverse De La Riva position involves several steps to secure a leg drag pass:

1. When the opponent locks in a tight lasso with their shin on your armpit and your hand trapped, anchor yourself by gripping their belt or collar.
2. Apply pressure downwards to break the lasso hook by lifting your weight and pushing the Reverse De La Riva hook down with your shoulder.
3. Adjust your position to prevent the opponent from flexing their foot on your back, making it harder for them to maintain the lasso.
4. Circle to your right, aiming to break the lasso hook by repeatedly pushing your shoulder down on their leg.
5. Once the lasso is broken, drive your left knee into the mat to secure the leg drag position, ensuring the knee hits the mat to prevent the opponent from escaping.
6. With your left hand, grip the opponent's collar and drop your elbow to solidify control.
7. To free your trapped hand, post on the opponent's quad with your left hand and use their leg as leverage to pull your hand up and break their grip.
8. Once the grip is broken, slide back into the leg drag position, ready to pass the guard or take the back.

These steps help you transition from being trapped in a leg lasso to establishing a dominant leg drag position.
