Transitioning from the Reverse De La Riva, begin by controlling the opponent's shin and lapel. Extend your leg and step in to force the opponent's leg to the side, setting up for a guard pass.
- As you step in, transition the hand that was on the shin to the opponent's spine to maintain control.
- With the grip on the spine, continue to pass the guard by moving to the side.
- Control the opponent's leg to prevent them from regaining guard and secure side control on the opposite side.
- Maintain pressure with your shoulder and chest on the opponent's torso, particularly focusing on controlling their shoulder to prevent their escape.
