DLR Basic Sweep
Position Details
The basic De La Riva sweep uses the DLR hook to elevate your opponent's leg while controlling their ankle and collar. It's a fundamental sweep that teaches core DLR principles.
Key Principles
- Establish DLR hook with foot on their far hip
- Control their hooked leg ankle and grip their collar
- Elevate their leg while pulling the collar to break posture
- Kick through and come up to top position
Concepts
- Hook Depth: Your DLR hook must be deep with foot reaching far hip
- Ankle Control: Controlling the ankle prevents them from stepping out
- Collar Pull: The collar grip pulls them forward and breaks their base
- Kick Through: Your free leg kicks through as you complete the sweep
