Basic De La Riva Sweep for White Belts with Position Details

Today's question is from Andrew who requested a De La Riva Sweep.
In this video I first talk about some basic ideas of the De La Riva position (commonly written as DLR). These are techniques and ideas I show to my White Belts in class.
Again, with any attack we plan to use in Brazilian Jiujitsu. We start with control of the position.
I also show a very easy entry into the position that I show to my BJJ White Belts in my gym.
After the basics of DLR I show an incredibly basic sweep often called a Hook Sweep.
It's a very common and not very complicated sweep. And I find that a lot of my White Belts are able to take this BJJ technique and use it effectively.
Make sure if you plan to use this technique for your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu game. Don't leave your legs hanging when you make your way on top. As I talk about, you can get caught in things like legs locks if you're not careful.
Thanks again to Andrew for the question. And I hope this helps any of you trying to use a technique from De La Riva.

He does not blink

[@Lifelover992011]

I tapped to it 3 times during the video

[@MariahShidell]

Adam didn't blink for over a minute

[@MYPADDEDROOM5150]

Adam has the best motivational words ever! Another great vid! 🤙🏼

[@johnnyapplsede6258]

“This is stuff white belts know” me as a white belt completely clueless of this😭😭😂

[@ericcain9951]

Adam tapped me just by staring into the camera

[@Fogwell94]

Great insigts from Adam, thanks for sharing them

[@acquiesce100]

Simple but so effective. You are an amazing teacher.

[@LT_Darwin]

Chewy, your reaction to Adam's silly hello is priceless. Your eyebrow furrow at 5:40 got me :D. Whether it's cause you're so used to his greetings that it's old to you, or if you're intentionally playing deadpan for comic relief; I love it! Thanks for all the useful White belt tips as well!!!

[@Demosc0ut]

Adam's face in the beginning😂 It's cool you have him in your videos, he's so funny! We love Adam!

[@flahgdoe4558]

I searched this with the R not the H because I figured it was Brazilian and I was right! Lol

[@adamchalasify]

I kept getting caught up in this and didn’t pay enough attention to really learn what it is until recently. Good vid, thanks!

[@bigballinhustla]

One of the first sweeps I learned. Ive heard it called tripod sweep and hook sweep. I've caught a lot of higher belts with this. I transfer to this sweep from single leg x. You already have the foot :)

[@donniehallaman7685]

This video came at the perfect morning, yesterday we learned this in the am class and it was a bit new for me did well with it i guess. As feeling ambitious and went to a 2nd class that night where we did it again and of course i fumbled it right in front of professor i kinda got a bit of a scolding for not remembering it smoothly when i did it 8 hours prior..... Oops i felt bad actually and searched out this sweep. Thank you for you hard work and videos you guys help me alot with out ever meeting you in person.osss

[@GreenGenerationTV]

Your professor shouldn’t scold you over something like that. If you’re just starting out, everything is awkward. All they should be doing is motivating to do better.

Wow. Such a great breakdown. Delariva is the first thing i learned in BJJ

[@andryranivoarizaka9772]

Great ! Thank you very much ! As a beginner I'm looking for such simple moves. Adam's stern face is funny lol

[@trey140]

I’ve been doing my sweep wrong this whole time🤦🏾‍♂️ thanks @chew

[@GomiBeatz42o]

that is reallly good i will try it

[@bonomaullykamlesh]

Awesome. Thank You.

[@Zfrk]

A spazzy white belt may turn this into more of a de la huevos sweep by accident..

[@TheLZempir3]

underrated comment.

[@theodorechino]

I call this sweep the puxa puxa (poosha poosha aka push pull) sweep. You can also surf over the thigh and slide for home if you've got a great grip on the sleeve or wrist.

[@protectyaneck808]

Good stuff!!

[@danielhomes7023]

I need to sleep. 5 o`clock alarm will wake me up. But still watching chewi BJJ class.

[@raggledaggle721]

Adam looks really cool

[@netunooficial3123]

Thank you

[@battlefieldsbjj]

Love watching the closed captions and the algorithm trying to figure out what is being said - even better if someone transcribed it - day la heba

[@martinpratchett]

Thanks Chewy, we learned this a few weeks ago and I had forgotten a couple of details. Could you please demonstrate arm drags too?

[@4spida2fingaz0]

I’ve learned 4 different ways to do this so far

[@briancrouse8507]

😳Adam🤣I tapped to the stare.

[@drorez_]

I vote for Adam to go solo. :b Great vid guys. Cool stuff as usual.

[@SevenRiderAirForce]

Do a video on the de La Riva back-take with the noodly woodly leg goes through-dly. It's my favorite.

[@dreamstofulfil]

Thank you so much for your video! Could u make a video of transitioning between open guard positions like DLR to X guard, X to Single X or whatever, etc... Cant find that much information about it! Thank you and Merry X mas!

[@debronj624]

Great!!!!

[@gasshocenter]

Nice thanks!

[@mrshinybald2739]

Deleheava came to Australia in 2012, it was all the rage

[@bmcustoms1646]

Perfect! next can you do X (single, reverse)?

[@FakeZOOr]

05:03 Adam doesn't look to you,he looks through you.

[@peterciampa5102]

You get an A+ plus rating

[@andrewfallows8893]

This really helped me with BJJ. Thank You.

[@sorearm]

Nice

[@irsh2786]

I presume that basics of DLR are more blue belt level, as white belts don't really face a lot the situation of being on the bottom while the other stand up.

[@stangdude5593]

If your foot gets stuck on the hip and the guy drives forward and downward, the knee can be compromised. Just ask my torn medial meniscus, sprained MCL, and sprained ankle.

Why does adam never blink 😂

[@steverager5602]

My prof. Is a black belt under De La Riva and there are so many sweeps from this position. Your right foot does not go behind his knee. It goes half way between his ankle and knee. I'm not being picky. As you know as a black belt inches matter in this game 👍

[@bodgerswood3841]

Like you say yourself there are many sweeps from this position I don’t think there is a right way to do it like your suggesting, but there are variations of the right way to doing the sweep. This being one and your way being another, and I’m sure there’s many more. This is what makes jiu jitsu so special🤙🏼

[@JS-bk4pn]

Who's your professor?

[@steverager5602]

@@JS-bk4pn Marcello c Monteiro. But as the other guy said in the comments you can adjust things as you go or depending on the situation do what you have to do. Chewy is a cool guy and fun to watch. Hope I didnt piss anyone off by the comment. It's just how I was taught bro.

[@JS-bk4pn]

@@steverager5602 Nah not at all. My coach/professor got his black belt under De La Riva too so I was just wondering. DLR was just at our school in November for a seminar.

Isn't this just called a hook sweep? My problem is never getting to DLR, it is what to do after that. I get to DLR they stuff my leg I lose position and they are able to pass. I try to set up sweeps, but most of the time they don't work.

[@joshuagreen5010]

Late stage whitebelt here. I want to expand my guard knowledge of course but am wondering why not go straight for the hook sweep after opening up the closed guard? What does the intermediate De la Riva stage accomplish? Looks like the sweep doesn't need it.

[@jimreily7538]

That's a good question, id be interested to know why too

[@af4396]

Well, if we're thinking about the same sweep (we call it lumberjack), it can work but it's easier to defend, and there is a counter to the defense but I think the main thing is not as much control and options from there as from DLR.
