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