About this video

Executing the Crazy Dog Pass against a Reverse De La Riva guard with an ankle grip, followed by a Long Step to finish the pass:

  1. Start in Reverse De La Riva with the opponent gripping your ankle and establish a collar grip to prevent them from going underneath.
  2. Set up a secondary grip on the edge of the pants near the opponent's knee or above the knee if the preferred grip is not available.
  3. Apply pressure with your shoulder over the opponent's leg and lean forward to make the position uncomfortable for them.
  4. Slide your knee over the opponent's shin, behind their grip, to break their hold on your ankle.
  5. As you break the grip and move towards the opponent, they will likely maintain a Knee Shield to prevent side control.
  6. To bypass the Knee Shield, release the collar grip, hug the opponent's head, and execute a Long Step to clear the shield.
  7. After the Long Step, release the grip on the pants and start controlling the opponent's top leg.
  8. Push the top leg down and walk towards Side Control to stabilize the position.
