Eddie,
We gotta work this into the system. Outside leg rolling. This is the shit Rafa will be using come ADCC.
Berimbolo!

Look at how much gi grips he's using... That might be a bitch to translate it to no gi...
That's what love handles are for. Gotta tiger claw grip the fat of their skin for that no gi stuff. :)
Rafa's Berimbolo works just fine no-gi.
That's not de la riva guard?
Looks like it could def work nogi but def not as effective as with the gi.
Spiral and de la riva guard is already being injected into the system as well as 50/50, thanks to Jason Eisner, Nathan Mechina and Eric Ramey. It's gonna take a little while tho for me to master those styles, but believe me, I'm working on them :)
Its just like getting to the truck from side control except your inverted. Dope.
that melts my mind
The Berimbolo is just one of many sweeps of of the De La Riva.
Here is Aryzinho using nothing but De La Riva and Spiral Guard to win at the highest levels of No-Gi.

You can hit this all over the place, any time you can go to the outside. Berimbolo!
I really enjoy a lot of the techniques and innovations that have come in nogi from the De La Riva and Reverse De La Riva positions. I think there are a lot of promising inversion/sweep/backtake options, as shown by Mendes/Cocco/Terra; however, I've never seen anyone hit that particular sweep Mendes is using nogi. I've seen him invert and come back on the single-leg, or invert and take the back going around the outside or up the middle (between the legs).
But, if anyone has video of that sweep being used successfully nogi, I'd love to see it.
Closest I have found

Yea, That's the example of coming back up onto a single from de la riva, that I was talking about.
It just seems like without the belt grip getting the person to sit back on the ground from de la riva would be difficult, even with a good leg extension through the middle. I'm going to mess with it today though.
Just saw this sweep for the first time today. Has anybody played with it enough to decide if its any good nogi?

Been drilling these in the gi in training for the last week or so and naturally I figured I would try hit one in no-gi. Haven't even got close yet, but then that might be because my training partners know its coming, as they been drilling it too. Either way, it feels so much more effective in the gi IMO. :-)
remember, with the gi you got handles.. with nogi you got hooks.
Cool video. Rafa is amazing! :-)

I love how techniques such as this have really influenced the competition scene and create a movement of sorts in how it should be implemented and defended. I watched an old match of keenan cornelius vs one of the miyao bros where it was a real chess match between the two. I personally am not a competition grappler, so my unfamiliarity with the technique makes it interesting to watch, but hard to follow in terms of points, and the fine details of the position. The vid above was very educational.
Bookmarking.
we've been working dlr and spiral for a while now. i mean eddie did a seminar on those over a year ago. the berimbolo and kod work great no gi, you just have to use hooks. i use berimbolo to the truck all the time.
Whoah...whoah...whoah....berimbolo to the truck? Please post a video on this.
I have a video of it. Let me test it in comp and ill post it.
heres a vid of me training it though. if it turns out to be legit, ill post a detailed vid.

How do you avoid your opponent setting up the inside heelhook when you are in that position starting at 0:06?
I think the moment he commits to inverting, there's no more heel hook available. So that's probably why there's little risk of a heel hook counter, I'm guessing.
Not really a huge heelhook risk. Theres a kneebar risk but you just have to move...this isnt a static position.
Yeah, we tried it at the gym tonight and came to the same conclusion. The possibility of an inside heelhook is hampered by the top guys reaping leg being too low on your leg. There's a way he could hop his leg over your knee to set it up and there's a remotely possible way he could try to lock it up with his leg below the knee, but neither one seems like a really over burdensome risk. My training partner instinctively went to the kneebar when I asked him to attack my leg.
if you can berimbolo, you can pull this off. i just havent worked all the kinks out yet.
What about the toe hold on the free leg? Do people go after it a lot on you guys before you invert? We tried it again tonight in the gym and it seems like the toe hold on the free leg is kind of a tempting target.
What do you guys think about the Rafa style grip on the ankle of the DLR'd leg versus the uppercut type grip? Here's a video of someone advocating the uppercut grip:

Is there some correlation between grappling and facial ticks that I'm unaware of? Seems a lot of BJJ instructionals feature someone with a facial tick? What a weird coincidence.
Personally, I think I would prefer the uppercut hook to help me invert. Cyborg does something similar to invert. I like the concept a lot.
