Underhook

Executing a sweep against stronger or heavier opponents from the De La Riva guard involves a series of steps to off-balance and topple the opponent.

1. Maintain grips on both sides of the opponent's gi while they apply pressure on your hooking leg.
2. Turn your body slightly sideways to create space between your hip and their ankle, which is off-balance.
3. Slide your forearm towards your elbow joint, aiming to grab the opponent's ankle and pull it towards your head.
4. As you remove your hook as the opponent desires, simultaneously kick their leg with your thigh against their shin and pull their leg towards you to make them fall.
5. Insert your leg inside as they start to fall and use the momentum to sit up.
6. Use your hand to cup their leg and pull up to prevent them from escaping and to complete the sweep.
7. Push the opponent away with your other leg to create space for the sweep.
8. Place your foot on the mat and either cup their leg or hold their pants to assist in sitting up.
9. Avoid placing your leg in a position where the opponent could trap you in a triangle choke.
10. Execute the sweep by pushing the opponent away and kicking at the same time, then come on top to establish control.
