Drill

Instructions

1. 1Establish a De La Riva hook and ankle-pick grip on a standing partner.
2. 2Off-balance them forward with a collar or sleeve pull as you load the hook.
3. 3If they base out and stop the sweep, transition your hook to their back instead.
4. 4Finish either with the sweep to a top position or the back take, not a stalled position.

What to focus on

Reading the base response and switching the attack instead of repeating it.

Common mistake

Sticking with the same sweep attempt after the opponent has clearly based out.
