De La Riva Guard: Sit up Sweep

From the DLR Guard without the gi http://tricksterbjj.blogspot.com/2008/04/de-la-riva-no-gi.html ......

1. Push your opp's leg back with the foot that is on his thigh

2. Using the momentum from pushing his leg away you rock back and sit up into him. The leg that pushed his thigh away comes under you and behind you.

3. As soon as you sit up you MUST put your inside hand around your opp's hip - If you don't he can step over and get your back.

4. Your left hand (or outside hand) posts outside of his leg on the floor as a base.

So you are now sitting up with your left leg around the back of his right heel, your left hand on the floor as a post, your right is underneath you with your right ball of foot on the ground and must importantly your right hand is around the waste of your opp....

5. Push off your right foot (as if you are performing a takedown) as you lift your left knee up behind you, this will straighten his right leg and make his fall backwards. You should end up in half guard....unless you can pass to the outside and gain side mount.
