Reverse De La Riva Basics

[@Danjr704]

Great details. You definitely look like you have a guard nobody wants to be inside of. Awesome video.

[@benmoody9334]

I think this is the best video I've seen Aaron This is a position I'm just really starting to explore as a purple belt 💜 and I've found if I use the position as it appears in most videos, my hook feels really week and makes me feel like there's some sort of flexibility/body shape thing However I can see that the details you add, such as bringing your hwad towards the offside foot, will certainly make it playable for anyone Thanks Aaron

Great job! I love your teaching style, very easy to follow along.

[@Viper23Pete]

You just answered my main problem with this position! I've been too squared while training. Definitely going to try and get more on my side! Also, watching for those Estima/Toe-Holds! That detail on hiding the foot was legit. Going to try this out tomorrow! Thank you!

Hey I just wanted to take a few minutes & leave you a message. I absolutely appreciate all your tutorials & the way you teach. Great explanation every time you teach. I’m a white belt 2 stripes & was getting trapped in everyone guard until I found your Guard Breaking technique video! Sooo good I’m still having trouble but last night I got it right, it wasn’t pretty but I got out lol. I would love to make plans to visit your academy one day. Where are guys located? Thank you 🙏

[@grigelkotten]

Hoping to see even more on rdlr ! Very informative !

[@aarnt09]

Yeah, those things happen unexpectedly. Don't know why. 4:04〜

[@benpurcell591]

Great instruction

[@A_RayChan_Joint]

nice instructional, this has worked for me in variously situations. Is there a way to also avoid the kneebar counter they do from the top? Seems like when I spin they can control my free leg to a leglock or stall me out by controlling it?

[@aaronbenzrihembjj6014]

You have to be aware and keep your knees tight. It’s all about the knee line to avoid.

[@TarekChaaban]

Please explain how at 3:30 you make the pull look so easy

[@aaronbenzrihembjj6014]

You mean how I pull his leg forward?

[@TarekChaaban]

@@aaronbenzrihembjj6014 yes , with a small resistance from the opponent wasnt able to move it at all

[@aaronbenzrihembjj6014]

@@TarekChaaban Even if you can’t move their leg, the grip should allow you to move yourself without using flexibility or dexterity. You should be able to move their leg if you straight arm hard enough, but again it’s not necessary, as long as the grip is helping you move underneath them

[@nicocontreras5366]

Yeah I keep hearing that De La Riva is better with the gi but this doesn´t seem that hard honestly, thank´s for sharing. I am a blue so guess canot get footlocked yet hehe.

[@HawaiianLion15]

Wow, really good stuff. Your videos have already answered so many questions. Your channel will keep me busy for a long time.

[@aaronbenzrihembjj6014]

Very happy to hear that!

[@jrock2019]

I’m sorry I didn’t hear what you said… can you remake the video please
