  • This video I go through my basic foundation for understanding the De La Riva Guard. This guard is critically important because it is one of the easiest grips to achieve and can transition to so many different attacks and positions. I first discuss the importance of the dlr hook and how it can be switched for string knee pressure. Then I go in to discussing the possible options you have depending on each grip you can establish.

    The details here are incredible. I wrestled for about 30 years (Middle school, HS, collegiate, and beyond) before I started Jiu Jitsu. I’ve got to be honest, these systems made no sense to me for at least the first year. One thing I didn’t see before in any of my training and drilling was how he lifts that leg with control on the pants when he pulls forward on the collar and transitions to X guard. I’ve got to drill that. I was missing that detail and would often get my leg stuck against his leg when trying to transition. I see now that I need to lift the leg to make that transition smoother. I was thinking I wasn’t bumping him forward enough, but now I don’t think that’s my problem.

    One of the best brains teaching BJJ. It's kind of obvious, once you make the point, that establishing initial grips is step one and that you have to literally go step by step, progressing from what you can initially get to better and better positions. It's clearly not that obvious though because most instructors don't explain this to their students.

    Amazing content :) Two questions. First, where would you place the hierarchy of grabbing a cross sleeve grip over a Collar or Far Sleeve? Second, you talked about variations such as De La X and Deep DLR and such, but is there a preferred position you would like to achieve with an Open Guard that you are using other open guards to get to? For me, I feel it's having the radar up to look for a better opportunity of control and having more options, and not sure how a guard like De La X might fair against a Deep DLR or a Lasso Guard. Thanks!

    Thank you so much for this content. I have 2 questions. 1. What do you do if he does a toe hold on that far leg? I get that you can just spin out of it because he doesn't have any other control points but then you've lost your de le Riva guard. 2. What do you do if he back steps to pass your guard? I tend to butterfly hook the leg with that far leg then reset but if he's fast and puts some heavy pressure then it seems to be an easy pass

    • @JonThomasBJJ
      @JonThomasBJJ  3 роки тому

      Hey buddy so realistically difficult experienced opponents doesn’t define the position at all, I just think in term of where my opponent is and my possible responses. Just because someone is experienced doesn’t mean they all hold side the same way and in fact some black belts can be amazing at some things and terrible at others. So I would need exact context for the specific control method the person uses, or I can just make a list of all my favorite side escapes in 1 video.

    Do you know if the De La Riva guard can be trained without a sparring partner? I've been forcefully incarcerated in multiple psych wards and what I found is that the ambulance staff tend to over-stretch my arms from guard position. I'm not a martial artist though and am overweight and the only street fight I ever had was when I tried grabbing the wrist of three attackers with knives and held the knife edge instead. I'm also asking because I have met with people inside psych wards where ambulance staff took advantage of them sleeping and waking them up in the night. These weren't violent people just people caught off guard. My critique of modern BJJ is that they do not address issues of multiple attackers versus psychiatric staff which are often grapplers, don't abide by the rule of law (law here being Constitutional rights as opposed to whatever state laws are present) and even traditional BJJ supporters like Jocko Willink who recommend BJJ for the street don't address the difference between street fights and being forcefully incarcerated. (A street fight can be escaped, ambulance staff will lie to get you into an agitated state and then surround you at your weakest mental state, A street fight can be won by incapacitating an arm or leg - ambulance staff will use that against you and the self defense element comes not in beating the ambulance staff or knowing your legal rights (they don't care - you need your lawyer to be on speed dial) and the goal is not to escape or win the fight just to have the right flexibility to not get your arm injured or strained because any form of shouting is used as evidence for your mental illness.

    Any advice on preventing the DLR leg from being pushed down? I know you talk about pressuring into the leg to get push back to put in the hook, but even when I get the hook it doesn't feel strong, usually my opponent just compresses my knee towards my chest and then the position starts to crumble.

Your videos are awesome and the techniques are on point but I'm in a situation where I know all these different DLR techniques front to back but can never stabilize in the position enough to attack.

    what does the hook actually do?
    not the reverse hook, the regular one.
    I often used to make the mistake of trying to put it in on a completely straight legged partner.
    It was awkward, and couldnt find anywhere on youtube that tells me what it actually does.
    manage distance? keep him in place?
    do you only put it in when they bend their knee? if so, why?
    I feel like no instructor has truly gone in depth about what the hook actually does. when and when not to use it, so on and so forth.
    Could you reply or make a video on it?
    Much appreciated!

    DLR isnt a guard that we drill much at my school. Any advice on trying to systematically implement this system during live rolls, when guys might be using various methods to pass, or passing on the knees? what i find is that guys i roll with pressure pass a lot, and then when i'm up against someone who is standing and passing, the muscle memory isnt there to wrap them up in my guard and have these tools readily available to keep the guard and get the sweep. i find that i'm not spending a lot of time in these positions to really absorb them

    • @JonThomasBJJ
      @JonThomasBJJ  3 роки тому +3

      The best is if you can find a partner you can work with before or after class and do specific sparring from the position you want to work on to speed up the learning process in the positions. If the guys in gym play from both knees often I use collar sleeve or double sleeve as a way to threaten them with Omoplatas or triangle to get them to step up to a leg then you can switch to de la riva.
