De La Riva Sweeps

531 squats and presses before class. Failed for the first time to hit the minimum number of reps for my last set. Guess I’ll have to reset the press progress. Not shocking, it is the slowest lift to improve.

Class was a couple of different De La Riva guard sweeps. We started in spider guard, and then switched to De La Riva. So we’ve got both sleeves controlled (rather than one on the foot), one foot with the De La Riva hook behind his knee. Swing the other foot out and reweave it onto his other hip. Then we can elevate and sweep him either straight over our heads or do a simple sweep like motion and sweep him to the side.
