Short Hook: Waiter Sweep

Executing the short hook to waiter sweep from Reverse De La Riva:

1. Start in Reverse De La Riva guard, using it to transition into the X-Guard by pulling through and checking the opponent's leg.
2. Control the bend of the opponent's knee and swim your hand under to get your left arm crooked at the elbow underneath their calf.
3. Insert the short hook and alternate between building into the X-Guard sweep by extending the opponent away and blading your body to initiate the waiter sweep.
4. If the opponent presses back, use your right leg to draw them over you, aiming to get as far over or as close underneath them as possible.
5. Let your right foot pass through to find the opponent in the waiter sweep position.
6. Ensure the opponent settles their weight down to maintain the correct dynamics for the sweep.
7. Rock the opponent back slightly and tilt them into the back right corner, being careful not to roll over your left ankle.
8. Once the opponent is down, choose an appropriate method to get up, such as a technical stand-up or transitioning into a half guard or over-under pass.
9. Be creative with your get-up, considering leg drags, berimbolos, or double unders, but prioritize a solid base and simple get-up if possible.
10. Control the opponent's balance by finding their posts and putting them to a hip, then work to pass their guard.
