Does anybody have any sick videos of it being used in competition. I was just drilling it yesterday with orchard, and I want to make it strong into my game.

The Mendes Bros use it alot. A simple youtube search of De La Riva should suffice. It works better in the gi because of sleeve collar belt and pant grips but it is still legit in no gi competitions.
Rafa mendes is really good with itQuote:

Here is a classic video of De La Riva guard with another guy who became famous for beating Royler Gracie.
De la Riva... That explains why I could not find as much info lol
Yep. Keenan Cornelius is another. Caio Terra is another. Cobrinha is another.Quote:

And watch some gi footage too. It really does translate.
Coach Zog has a great no gi approach to de la riva. Let me check. He might have a video on it.
Edit: found it. Skip to 2:35....although the first tech is worth watching too.

i've been trying De La Riva and inverted DLR with no gi. Not having much luck yet, but more reps the better i guess..its so hard to do it without the gi grips
De La Riva and reverse De La Riva are very legit in No Gi a lot of us here at Vista use it all the time I sweep and take the back with it defineitly a big part of my game.
Great video David. Zig is the man!
I like it..
