Passing De La Riva Open Guard (on leg around your leg, one leg on hip, their hand on your lapel and pants):

  1. Grip their pants
  2. Take a step back and drive that leg in between your legs
  3. Pivot on your front foot and twist opponent
  4. Slice your knee ontop of opponent’s lower leg
    • make sure to keep elbows tight as to prevent them from getting their leg in between your arm and body
  5. Once your knee touches the ground, get the same side elbow of that knee on the other side of opponent’s body -you should be hip to hip with opponent
  6. grab opponent’s sleeve and then square up

Passing De La Riva, opponent establishes knee shield on step 4:

  1. Use your hand that is outside of the knee shield to grab opponent’s lapel thumb in, crossfacing opponent
  2. Post your knee shielded hand out over opponent’s head?
  3. Get your knee on their stomach and use it to pressure them flat so they are facing up
  4. Circle your elbow around the knee

Opponent essentially turns gets under you, and grabs your ankle:

  1. you have to make space in between their and legs (basically in their armpit), and then get your knee there, I don’t really remember
