De La Riva: Snap Down Sweep

Again starting from basic DLR Guard....

1. Unhook your left leg and drop it to the mat.

2. Let go off his right sleeve (with your left hand), SIT UP into your opp's right leg and put your left hand around the back of your leg and hug it tight to your body.

3. Now take his left hand (which you are still holding with your right hand) and pass it to your left hand. You are now reaching aroung the back of his right leg with your left hand and holding his right sleeve. This causes him to bend down.

** As you are doing this DO NOT take your right foot off of his thigh. You are keeping constant pressure to push him away. It is also important to keep your head to the inside so you do not give your opp a guillotine.

4. Take your right hand, and from under your opp's chest reach around his left shoulder and grab his gi. Try to grab as much of the gi as possible. You can either just grab a fist full, or if the gi is too tight you can grab the back of his collar.

5. Pull your opp foward and down rolling him over his left shoulder. He will not be able to stop himself because you are holding his left hand and his left leg is too far back to support his body weight.

6. Take sidemount.
