Reverse De la Riva | Modified X Guard | Technical Stand Up

Transition from a Reverse De La Riva sweep to a modified X-Guard sweep:

1. Maintain a firm grip on the collar and reach under the opponent's leg to pull and guide them across your body.
2. Lock your feet around the opponent's knee, creating a modified X-Guard with the knee trapped between the soles of your feet.
3. Push the opponent out while rising to your feet, ensuring you maintain good posture with a straight spine to prevent them from pushing off your head.
4. As you stand up, keep both hands over the top of the opponent's calf, clamping down and closing your elbow to control their leg.
5. Circle around the opponent, maintaining pressure on their leg, and prepare to shoot across their body like a double leg takedown.
6. Off balance the opponent by pushing their sleeve into their hips and lifting with your leg and Reverse De La Riva hook.
7. Pull the opponent across your body and get underneath their leg.
8. Sandwich the opponent's knee between your feet and push to stand up, keeping your head up throughout the motion.
9. Upon standing, clamp your elbows down around their knee and keep the pressure as you circle to find the angle to drive across.
10. Complete the sweep and look to secure the opponent in half guard.
