Vs Posting Opponent

Addressing an opponent who maintains a posted hand to prevent their hip from hitting the mat:

1. Initiate any knockdown technique to bring the opponent towards their hip.
2. When the opponent posts their hand to keep their hip up, focus on dealing with that hand without releasing the collar grip, which is essential for controlling their posture.
3. Use the De La Riva hook to kick out the opponent's posted hand, disrupting their balance.
4. After successfully kicking out the hand, look to come up on top, potentially transitioning into a single leg X or a dominant mount position.
5. The primary objective is to knock the opponent down to their butt and immediately look to come up on top to secure position and points.
6. Maintain the collar grip throughout the process to control the opponent's posture, making it difficult for them to stand back up.
7. Although the transition may not be the smoothest, the technique is effective in achieving a top position and progressing the match.
