About this video

Passing against a De La Riva guard with a pants grip involves maintaining good posture and addressing the De La Riva hook and the foot on the hip. The following steps outline the technique:

  1. Grab the shin of the De La Riva hook with one hand and place the other hand on the shin near the hip.
  2. Lift the hips and push the De La Riva hook out while stepping back to establish a strong base.
  3. Cut the knee out to the side, which typically breaks the opponent's pants grip.
  4. Stand up, step to the side, and transition into a leg drag position.
  5. For the leg drag, use a C-grip to grab the shin and push the opponent's heel towards their buttocks.
  6. Push the De La Riva hook out while lifting the hips and stepping back for base.
  7. Cut the knees out and drop both knees, performing a windshield wiper motion to free from the pants grip.
  8. Pop up to both feet, step towards the opposite side, and complete the leg drag.
  9. Cup the knee and control the hips, then let go and grab the far collar.
  10. Drop the shoulder to the opponent's chest, grab the belt, and secure a tight leg drag position.
