1. In this situation, I am trying to set Richie up for a 'scissors' sweep, which means my right shin is across his belly, and I am trying to sweep him to my left. To defeat my efforts, Richie posts out with his right hand, and makes the mistake of pushing down across my body with his left hand.

2. To capitalize on this mistake, I stay very close to him, and secure his left hand/arm with my body & left arm. With my right hand, I grab his belt (or pants), and sit as far up as I can.
