About this video

Passing the lasso from the Reverse De La Riva involves several steps, which vary depending on the depth of the opponent's lasso.

  1. Identify the depth of the lasso. A shallow lasso allows for an easier pass, while a deeper lasso requires additional steps.
  2. For a deep lasso, reach back to find the opponent's shin and push it down to bend their knee. Slide your hand to their toes.
  3. Bend the opponent's foot by bringing it in front of your stomach.
  4. With your other hand, grab the pants at the bend of the knee where the material bunches up.
  5. Lift your hips and punch down on the opponent's Reverse De La Riva hook as you step around, maintaining pressure on their shin.
  6. If the opponent holds onto the lasso, it may be difficult to quickly finish the leg drag. If they let go to push and replace guard, it becomes easier to drag the leg.
  7. As the opponent lets go and starts to push, reach for their collar and belt to secure the leg drag position.

Executing these steps will help you pass the lasso and achieve a tight leg drag position.
