Reverse De La Riva: Tripod Sweep

Initiate the Reverse De La Riva guard by hooking your foot inside the opponent's leg when they attempt a knee cut pass. Ensure a strong hook by being slightly on your side rather than flat on your back.

1. From an open guard, as the opponent steps in for a knee cut, immediately place your hook on the back of their knee.
2. Control the opponent's leg by reaching over it with your hand.
3. To execute the tripod sweep, place your other foot on the opponent's hip.
4. Kick with the leg that is on the hip, while simultaneously releasing the Reverse De La Riva hook and hooking the opponent's opposite foot.
5. With both of the opponent's feet trapped, execute the sweep by kicking, causing them to fall.
6. As you come up, maintain control of the opponent's leg to prevent them from standing up.
7. Transition to your knees and move into a knee-cutting position yourself.

This tripod sweep from Reverse De La Riva is effective and carries a low risk of counter-attack.
