Key steps

  1. Hook their lead leg with De La Riva and grip their far ankle or pants.
  2. Use your hook and grips to break their balance until they sit down or post on their hands.
  3. Invert onto your shoulders and spin under their hips toward their back.
  4. Keep your De La Riva hook turning their hips as you spin underneath.
  5. Come up behind them with a grip on their hips, then put your hooks in.

Key details

  • Take their balance first; inverting under a balanced, standing opponent leaves you stuck.
  • Keep your hips tight under theirs as you spin; a gap lets them turn back to face you.
