Waiter sweep

Executing the Waiter Sweep when facing a back step pass from De La Riva Guard:

1. Maintain a tight De La Riva Guard and anticipate the opponent's back step pass attempt.
2. Before the opponent completes the pass, underhook their leg and switch your grip to their pants, using your elbow to assist if necessary.
3. Keep your hips off the mat to prevent the opponent from gaining leverage and to off-balance them.
4. If you're adept at switching grips, you can immediately grab the pants and underhook. Otherwise, secure the pants with your elbow first, then transition to the grip when comfortable.
5. Weave your leg inside and execute the sweep.
6. If flexibility is an issue, keep one leg in and use your foot behind the opponent's knee to assist in elevating them.
7. Once elevated, you can kick up to complete the sweep or transition to the back.
8. For additional security, you can hug the opponent's thigh, grab their belt, or gi material.
9. Remember to create space by elevating the opponent before attempting to weave your leg in or kick up.
