The 9 Main Passes for De La Riva Guard (Overview Part 1)

[@DNicolden]

I haven’t seen this topic explored anywhere online before in depth - thanks Jon great material as always!

[@aharma]

Hands down the most useful BJJ youtube channel these days.

[@DPSBreakdowns]

Love the big picture, conceptual teaching style, Jon. Super high quality content, as usual.

[@ScopeFater]

Hello, i want to thank you for your great teaching abilities, it is clear, concise and very helpful. I feel like jiu jitsu is similar to mathematics, you don't learn to solve equations by having the answer to some of them, you have to understand the concept of solving a problem so you can manipulate an equation at ease and find the solution in every situation. In class, learning a single technique may feel like having one answer, it's only seeing the small picture in a very complex context. Explaining positions and giving overviews of what's happening really helps a lot, I am very glad to follow your teaching online. From Morocco,

[@muhammadsaeed4425]

Thank you so much for your videos, they re great. This one really upped my game right the next training session and sparring as a white belt.

[@NovaChan07]

This format is great! I’d love to see some options for breaking the DLR hook as well. That gives me the most trouble.

[@orangeInc311]

Cool! I love these kind of videos! I've got a folder of good bjj matches ready for when you drop your how to study video haha

WOW, your videos are amazing.

[@Randomboiiii]

Thanks coach

[@fhjfdcgjhf4187]

Thank you Thomas

[@alaincute12]

Can you make more videos about your collar guard? Go to attacks, sequences, and other details. I think it would be a good foundation for an open guard game.

[@jmoney1941]

Great work!

[@wilsontran2577]

[@jaredthreat2537]

Omoplata series next please 🙏🏼

[@fernandojarero7906]

Agreed

[@danielbufton7471]

De La Riva passing video, me: "oh man, time to watch Leandro crush a bunch of peoples' dreams..." Do you ever watch BJJScout, Jon? He (they?) has a good video series on Lo's passing and this just reminded me.

[@rizzxx7]

Nice

[@ivarkjerstad]

When is part 2 coming? :-)

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Coming within the next week, was out of town for a while so I’m back on filming a lot now.

[@model84]

any chances for full de la riva?(both legs hooked deep) 'You fucked up long time ago my friend', but still eager to share some ideas how to break/escape full DLR?

[@Piroebassman44]

Thoughts when they have the pant grip vs ankle grip?

[@JonThomasBJJ]

Piroebassman44 will cover in depth on part 2 of the series. It’s pretty similar with a few small variants. When you have pant grip you can also push their ankle away because you control the pants when you have the ankle, you can only pull on it but never push.

[@jacobnikolayevsky813]

JonThomasBJJ we’re talking about the DLR guard player, right? I know I like to play DLR with the pant grip instead of ankle, allows me to set up Lo-guard, helps shut down knee cut (to an extent), etc. I look forward to your next vid and love your stuff!

[@poconagean]

So whats the name of the passes?

[@MegaKhoi]

could you add your instagram post to facebook? or youtube?

[@JonThomasBJJ]
