Deep De La Riva hook plus inside shin wedge - berimbolo platform
Open guard hybrid built from a deep De La Riva hook wrapped behind the opponent's near knee combined with the inside shin wedged across their near hip. The bottom player lies on the side with hips at a 45-degree angle, the bottom arm hooking the near ankle and the top hand controlling the same-side sleeve or pant cuff. Used as a berimbolo entry, sweep platform, and defence against leg-drag passes.
