Underhook De la Riva: Technical Stand Up

Executing an Underhook De la Riva to Technical Stand Up:

1. Start in the De la Riva guard with a grip on the opponent's lapel.
2. If the opponent's leg feels heavy and you're unable to remove your hook, transition to an underhook on the same leg.
3. With the underhook secured, grab the opponent's pants for a tight grip.
4. Use your free leg to kick away from the opponent, creating space to come up on your elbow.
5. Instead of pushing the opponent away, pull them towards you to maintain better control.
6. Even if the opponent opens their legs, maintain the lapel grip and the pants grip to control their movement.
7. If the opponent's knee is heavy, indicating a knee cut pass, break their angle by extending their leg away from you.
8. Keep your foot on their hip to maintain distance, but ensure your De la Riva hook is tight and active to prevent them from posturing up and passing.
9. While maintaining the grips and the hook, push on their knee to aid in standing up.
