Espen Mathiesen Reverse De La Riva Overview

This video Espen Mathiesen shows his basic foundations for controlling the reverse de la riva position. This is a powerful guard that can be mixed in from many different position. Not only does it stop your opponent from passing but it gives you many ways to attack to the back. Espen breaks it down by your opponents positions

Honestly maybe the best content out there that provides overarching strategies and game plans. So well done.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Thanks buddy gonna try to do some more broad overviews again soon

[@nikolamejl]

No maybes here!

[@Cr0me93]

So true, more of this please!

[@natmalik739]

Jon at 5:43 is exactly how I felt watching this. Excellent breakdown.

I would pay for an instructional by Espen on RDLR.

[@dongliu5002]

I really like this type of "Overview" contents which is easy to absorb and build from piece from piece later after knowing the general ideas of the whole system. Thank you so much for your very valuable contents . Greetings from China.

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Yeah the overview formats are super helpful for getting the bigger picture together fast

[@octogonalrider108]

BY FAR THE BEST YT CHANNEL for JJ content!

[@ohmynoche]

The three levels are so helpful to know.

[@luizmelo8611]

Best BJJ channel out there!!

[@thelifeofpieman]

We did RDLR in class today and this answer all the questions I had whilst reflecting on it and also answer to questions I was to inexperience to know what to ask. Which is the sign of a great teacher. Well done. I am now a subscriber!

[@adolfoforonda3363]

Good to see the Macro perspective as part of an overall training strategy.

[@jeromelansang2168]

Thank you. This is a great start to learn this guard.

[@racer89gt]

My first time seeing your content but it’s amazing, thank you!

[@errcoche]

This really makes sense. My crap DLR usually leads to me ending up in RDLR and having no clue what to do from there. You are imparting meta skills here of looking at what is happening and deciding what you can do - transfer weight, elevate, move yourself. Really good, information dense video guys.

[@johnmorley2758]

Very cool breakdown, I really appreciate the level 1 2 and 3 concept, super helpful.

[@ivanhannel]

Excellent broader overview. Love it.

[@nicocontreras5366]

Very well explained, in my comeback to BJJ after like 8 years I met this guard and while I thought was kind of too exotic but flows very well with other guards. Thank´s !

[@valeriybaibossynov2690]

Great information there. It will be nice to see some grip fighting sequences(Same as you did in dlr video) from common opponent reactions, for example when opponent grabs your collar(it is really hard to break in my experience), pant grip is super annoying as well. Another reaction is when opponent trying to square you up.

[@cloakdaggertactical360]

Wow that helps a lot I’m a person who learns concepts thanks!!

[@KerryFairbanks]

Reverse DLR may be what I need. I play a lot of spider but sometimes I can't get both spider hooks, nor do I always want two spider hooks. I like this give an option to control a leg with the spider hook. I also have problems with bigger guys that just stand up in my guard and we get to a stale mate. Bro if I start taking back from guard, damn I'll get all the chicks

[@275Ranger275]

Gold.

[@kokopelli5357]

This is great! However, with my size (6’2+) and going against someone who smaller the kiss of the dragon spin is a harder option, I can never fit between their legs.

[@tor678]

That makes sense. But you might have an easier time off-balancing them from RDLR --> transitioning to other guards or going up for single legs

[@stevendelp8728]

Yea it’s kinda a small fella trick

[@DR-jz1es]

I’m short and this move definitely favors the small guys. X guard as well I feel goes best with the shorties

[@charliey4598]

Like the broad overview

[@karwengloo361]

Love it! 😍 Thanks so much. Quick qn. I like kiss of the dragon from RDLR but I'm gett ing attacked with toe holds very often. Any advice on how to deal with this? Much appreciated.

[@anonymousreviewer169]

Look into RDLR lockdown by Firas Zahabi. He addresses those risks from RDLR, and how to eliminate them.

[@karwengloo361]

Notes 2:14 “level one” knees down

[@frednagle3577]

What's a good counter if your opponent underhooks your outside leg and turns their hips so that their knee is on your hip? If ya know what I mean.

Black (belt) magic at it's best.

What "attacks?"

[@grigelkotten]

I don't often see you talk about RDLR as a defense to when someone is trapping your leg in DLR. Is it not just part of your game?

[@43506]

Espen brings it up at 0:45 in this video

[@atomariola6410]

Or you could research the history of BJJ and realize you are encouraging something like badminton. A sport, not a martial art. Watch the Gracie fights. The originals. They make certain people understand a martial art is not a martial sport. And BJJ should never be diluted. You've just made BJJ nothing more than the Karate School. You're teaching people how to get the shit beat out of them and it's offensive to Bjj.
