de La Riva Guard for No-Gi

[bobby rivers]

Lol. Easier said then done, but yeah, thats kinda it. Turn your shin into the outside leg and pressure. He'll have to transition.

This was in another thread but what do you guys think of it working no gi?

[Brent Smith]

Maybe not waiting for the berimbolo but as soon as he gets the DLR, backstepping then progressing through the technique

[bobby rivers]

Its been about a year and I still love this. My training partners have gotten really good at defending dig/rdlr or just avoiding it all together. The answer was transitioning to singleX then reap or go full x and tree top. This has been huge for me.

How have y'all been doing?

[Brent Smith]

I've given dlr and rdlr a break and have been working my 1/4 guard and single leg X. Since the sock lock and all the other leg lock stuff that people have been going to I'm keeping my feet safer this way.

Why not just practice your heart out and become a BA at dlr and spiral and the bolo? Who cares if you get tapped. :-D

Propper foot placement is crucial. If you can get controlled you were out of position or stagnet.

Cause i like quarter guard and shin to shin way more. Don't get me wrong ill play the bolo if it's there but I have other areas I'm working on that work better for my style.

i like shooting a deep dlr hook and going for dlr/x guard, like how jt torres plays in the gi, it works no gi as well

[sean applegate]

just keeping an open mind will take you pretty far with this style. i like the shin to shin game as well brent.
