In this video, Professor Daniel demonstrates an effective transition from lasso guard to a reverse de la Riva sweep, tailored for competition scenarios. Responding to a request from community member Brian, Daniel shares a technique that adapts the lasso setup into a powerful off-balancing and guard-passing sequence—ideal even for practitioners with shorter legs.Starting from open guard with sleeve control, Daniel shows how to apply a shallow lasso and react when the opponent stands and applies pressure with the knee. He then transitions into a reverse de la Riva hook, secures control of his own shin, and uses proper angling and momentum to off-balance the opponent and transition directly into side control.This is a practical, competition-tested technique with detailed breakdowns and key grips for efficiency and control.💬 Have questions or requests?
