Executing a hip-up pass to the truck position from Universal De La Riva:
- Start with a grip on the opponent's collar and pants on top while they control your ankle.
- Open your body and hips towards the back wall to create space.
- Punch the grip on the pants towards the mat to create a gap for the opponent's leg to go down.
- Place your leg on top of the opponent's leg, applying pressure to pass the guard.
- Exaggerate the hip opening in the beginning to learn the movement, then perform it quicker and more fluidly with practice.
- Once the guard is passed and the opponent turtles, transition to the truck position.
- Insert your right knee inside, step your left foot through, and pull the opponent on top.
- Secure the position by kicking out, hooking the opponent's leg, and adjusting their body.
- Complete the transition by taking the opponent's back with both hooks in place.
