About this video

Defending against a leg drag from De La Riva guard involves a sequence of movements to off-balance and sweep the opponent.

  1. Start by pushing the opponent away from the De La Riva guard position.
  2. Cross your leg all the way to the other side of the opponent's body, then return your hook to the front, behind the opponent's ankle.
  3. With the hook in place, extend your leg to off-balance the opponent. Their leg will be trapped, making it difficult for them to maintain balance.
  4. Kick the opponent's outside leg off while sitting on their other leg to further compromise their balance.
  5. As the opponent falls, recover your inside leg to complete the sweep.
  6. It's optional to maintain both grips on the opponent; if you can't, it's still manageable as the primary control is with your leg.
  7. Finally, sweep the opponent's knees out, come up on your elbow, and recover the inside leg to secure the position.
