Reverse De La Riva Entries: Bicep Lasso to K on Far Leg

Defending a knee cut and establishing a K-guard position involves several steps:

1. Establish a Reverse De La Riva or inside De La Riva hook as the opponent steps into a knee cut position.
2. Pommel the knee inside to create a strong base, allowing the foot to travel outside and set up for a K-guard.
3. Establish a lasso on the opponent's bicep by starting with a frame inside the elbow, then pommeling the foot to secure the lasso leg grip.
4. This lasso grip prevents the opponent from pulling away and denies them an underhook on that side.
5. With the lasso in place, the foot can travel outside the hip, which helps pull into a K-guard position while keeping the elbow inside.
6. Defend against the knee cut by framing and looking to get the hand through. Use the thumb to post outside, creating space for the foot to move outside the hip.
7. Recognize the cue when the space is open for the foot to make its way outside the hip, indicating the opportunity to establish a K-guard.
8. Maintain control of the K-guard as the opponent attempts the knee cut, ensuring a strong defensive position.
