De la riva no-gi system

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

Time to look at an interesting guard that's quite famous in the gi, yet a bit under appreciated for no-gi sometimes; the De La Riva guard! We're taking a look at using this transitional guard to sweep, take the back, wrestle up or enter into more established guards. Let's dive into this!

Where has this channel been my entire life? Thank you for the content!

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

Hahah hidden in the Netherlands! But you've found it! Where are you from?

[@globalcruiser]

Thank you! I always get a bit lost as to what to do after obtaining DLR. This is a great breakdown as to moving for position advancement.

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

Osú! My pleasure brother! Happy to help 🙏

Good to see that the editor got the video perfect on the first edit!

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

Yeah he's pretty skilled 👌🏼

[@svish5790]

This is great. Pretty much a whole instructional in 15 minutes and for free. Thanks 🙏

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

Thank you 🙌🏼🙏🏼 yup, we're very happy for being able to do this and share it with the world. If you want to go more in depth consider checking out our Patreon or BJJFanatics instructionals 🙏🏼🥋

[@markusleyer3299]

At your "kiss of the dragon" section... that is not a kiss of the dragon, that is a baby-bolo. A kiss of the dragon is the turn through the legs from reverse de la riva to end up in crab ride...

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

Yes sir! Sharp! I am aware. It’s an old video and we had been shooting for a while. These things happen unfortunately 😂 thank you for clearing it out buddy

[@kdb560]

Your video coverage and explanations are the best!! Would love to get to your academy!

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

Thank you! Appreciate that. Doors are always open, feel free to swing by 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@mstinson23]

Just ran into your content looking for details on Kiss of the Dragon! Really enjoying what you are showing in your videos. Enough detail to make sense without being exhausting like some others :) Thanks for putting this stuff out there! Definitely some stuff that I am familiar with, but new twists as well as some stuff I haven't encountered.

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

Happy to hear that sir and thank you! I appreciate that 🙏 we hope to keep on uploading great content here and on other platforms! Osú

[@1philodog]

I've been looking for a video like this ! Awesome content and thanks for not repeating every move three times like every other instructional. Rewinding is not that hard.

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

Thank you brother! Appreciated! Osú 👊🏼🙌🏼

[@CooperBurnham1]

Awesome video

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

Osú!!

[@hkhawaja3]

I have been looking to add de la riva to my no-gi game but have been a bit afraid with the backstep/leg lock options that the top person can have. This video was much needed with the options available to attack. Thank you!

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

@@hkhawaja3 my pleasure brother! Thank you for taking the time to share that. Keep in mind to play it a bit shallow and be cautious when they try to angle backwards. But it’s later a very good opening for you to chase their back! 🙌🏼

[@explore1928]

Amazing video. Can't wait to try it.

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

Thank you! Enjoy and say hi to your trainingpartner from me when you sweep them 😉

[@sandertump8731]

Super nice!! 💥💥

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

Osú maatje!

[@Doppler9]

Thanks for sharing and the inspiration, never really liked DLR nogi, but play a lot of RDLR. Gonna give it another shot and work on some of these to further expand my open guard.

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

Same here but since a while I've now been going to DLR first and RDLR as backup. Also seeing DLR not as a static, but more a transitional guard changed my game for the better 🙌🏼

[@Double_M_gl_SJ]

Very informative video. Will make some of it work tmr

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

@@Double_M_gl_SJ happy to hear that! Osú 🙌🏼 what country do you train at?

[@Double_M_gl_SJ]

​@@EnergiaMartialArts I train in South Korea! Again thank you for the video coach. Hit those moves on whitebelts lmao but not purple ones. I think the pressure is lacking when I get the guard. Always fundamentals that change everything.. gotta focus on putting some tension in my de la riva guard.

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

@@Double_M_gl_SJ yeah well said! 100% drill and focus on pressure and also disbalance! 🙌🏼

[@admiralsuperior3]

Great video

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

Thank you! 🙌🏼

[@ryantaylor2356]

Thank you for this video. I love De La Riva in the Gi, but find some difficulty applying No Gi.

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

Osú brother! My pleasure! Yeah just be sure you stay dynamic and be careful when getting your dlr hook in too deep as mentioned in the video!

[@pcprinciple3774]

6:35 - you mention a video on "defensive DLR" - which video is that please? PS: really high quality video by the way

[@EnergiaMartialArts]

Ohw man to be honest I think I mentioned a video we were planning on shooting but never really got to it. That or it’s in our de la riva passing video. Sometimes it gets confusing planning this content and then releasing it as planned haha 😅 thank you!
