De La Riva basics
De La Riva guard basics by Eli Knight. This is a versatile position that allows for sweeps, submissions, and back takes. Key elements include hooking your opponent's leg for control, using grips to manage distance, and constantly off-balancing them. Some high-percentage techniques from this guard include the triangle choke, rolling arm lock, standard back take, and the berimbolo to back. It's a powerful guard position that offers multiple attacking options when executed properly.
