DE LA RIVA PLAYER
POSITION
Both of you seated on the mat (double seated). Your partner has inside position. You hold their ankle and have your De La Riva hook in.
OBJECTIVE
Get to the wedge.
CONSTRAINTS
How you get there is up to you. The coach doesn't prescribe a solution; his only hint is to learn to invert. Explore, fail, and try again rather than sitting still. Reset after either player wins. Rounds are 2 minutes with one person in this role.
WIN CONDITION
Reach the wedge.
INSIDE-POSITION PLAYER
POSITION
Seated with inside position, your ankle held and their De La Riva hook in.
OBJECTIVE
Enter a leg entanglement before they reach the wedge.
CONSTRAINTS
Any leg entanglement counts; single leg X is the simple one. Getting there is the win and the round resets, so nobody finishes a leg lock. Reset after either player wins.
WIN CONDITION
Get your partner into any leg entanglement.
