I finally made it to the weight room again. Now that it's spring break, I really should be able to work out as much as I want. It did help that I had to be at school anyways for some Open House business. Speaking of which, anyone and everyone in or around Knoxville, TN is invited to the annual UT College of Veterinary Medicine Open House on April 16. You get to see some really cool stuff if you come!
Lots of De La Riva today, even during the beginner's class. Started with established DLR when your opponent stands up in your guard--unlock your legs, grab a sleeve, sit your hips on one of their feet, put your far leg into their far hip, and wrap the other leg around the back and then inside of their inside leg, so you are at an angle to them. If they pressure in, which they normally do when you push, take the inside leg and put that foot in the hip, take your foot that was in their far hip and drop it to behind their knee/calf, make sure your hand is around their foot (the one you're sitting on), and straighten the leg in the hip. If they come back down, basically stand up in base--put the hand that was grabbing a sleeve in the collar, plant the other hand and opposite foot on the ground, and get up, swinging your hips back, making sure their leg is trapped with the leg that is swinging back.
Advanced class went from there--if the DLR wasn't as far off to the side and you're more lined up to the person, and then step their foot back to avoid that initial sweep, put the foot that was behind the calf in the hip that is closer to you, bring the foot that was in the hip all the way across to behind their ankle, but from in front of their leg, not behind. Push the hip down, block with the hand and other foot. Also, you could do the same stand up in base-sweep while they're standing. Sit up and hug their leg and the arm you have. Push their far side knee with your foot. When they go to try and strip your foot with their hand, grab that hand and pull that into the hugging grip. Keeping your head tight, drive in with your shoulder and pull back with your foot, keeping their foot clamped with yours. When you land, you should have their wrist under their leg. Keep it there and block the feet with your hands to come to cross side.
