Crab Ride from De La Riva X - Ultimate Combo

In this video, I show one of my favourite back takes, which is the crab ride from de la riva X. I think the crab ride is underutilised from de la riva x and can be effective as a way of taking the back.

Awesome video. In all my competition, I usually play DLRX with farside lapel looped under the opponent's right leg. I have only recently started playing vice guard then transitioning to DLRX with the cross sleeve. This sequence to the crab ride will open up pathways to the back. I could also use this to threaten the crab ride/bollo and when the opponent defends it, I transition the fishnet. I find all your videos very helpful as the starting point to explore new guards, passing sequences and etc. Thank You for the video and keep them coming! 👏🏻🤜🏻🙏🏻
