Transitioning from De La Riva Guard to X-Guard Sweep:

  1. Start in De La Riva Guard, controlling the opponent's angle.
  2. As the opponent attempts to push your foot down, transition your grip around their leg to control their ankle against your chest.
  3. Insert a hook behind their far leg while pulling their foot towards you to off-balance them forward.
  4. Embrace their foot and maintain your right hook behind their leg to block their movement.
  5. Transition to X-Guard by placing both feet up and moving to the other side.
  6. Keep your hand in front of their foot and maintain the hook to control their leg.
  7. Pass their foot to the other side by lifting it up and changing your position.
  8. Ensure your right foot is inside and pull the opponent backward.
  9. Use your right hook to lift their foot slightly to assist in completing the sweep.
  10. Once the opponent bases out with their hand, use your hook to lift them and follow through with the sweep.
  11. After completing the sweep, control the opponent's leg with an overhook and transition to side control.
  12. Apply the overhook, place your other hand on their hip, and move to the side to stabilize the position.
