But getting the hook in is not always easy. Sometimes your opponent doesn’t give you the space to insert the hook. Tony demonstrates a technique for getting the De La Riva hook on to your opponent in the combat base. When your opponent is in the combat base position, Tony shows the importance of stretching out your opponent to create space for the hook. After establishing the hook, Tony shows a push and pull motion that can be used to off balance your opponent and set him/her up for a sweep.
