This is an overview of understanding the de la riva guard in modern jiu jitsu. The de la riva is one of the most useful controls in jiu jitsu but it can be used in multiple different guards. I overview the foundations of what makes this hook work and the easiest ways to apply it in different situations.

Thank you so much. I love the way you instruct. Thinking of the whole system rather than individual moves has helped me tremendously

Very nice details coach loved how you use distance and put the de la Riva hook close to the hip, never thought about it, thank you so much.

@JonThomasBJJ Жыл бұрын

Yeah the distance is everything to make the dlr hook work well.

I was having trouble getting a deep hook in, and was thinking it had to do with the angle of my hips, but this makes so much sense!

Yeah it seems so obvious once you know but I didn’t really know that for a long time until I really analyzed it explaining to student

Would you ever do a video on breaking pant grips specifically? As a smaller guy I find it's game over when larger opponents get a pant grip on the knee or knees. Kicking out rarely works and sitting up to strip the grip can be difficult.

@elliottexplodes Жыл бұрын

Dela Riva definitely one of my weaker positions. Thank you for the details. Now the hard part, putting them to work.

@JonThomasBJJ Жыл бұрын

Yeah it’s tricky at first but super worth the investment to have one, so many positions in jiu jitsu will filter to this guard.

Hello thanks for this video. When do you choose between collar sleeve or ankle sleeve? Thank you

@samcutajar Жыл бұрын

Thanks for another great video Jon, appreciate it. Question - when you get your non DLR leg stuffed do you ever play chair guard or are you always looking to get that leg back to either a hip or bicep control?

@JonThomasBJJ Жыл бұрын

I always look to get my leg out asap but you can play that way like Kaynan Duarte and Cobrinha, but it feels a bit forceful to me to stay in that spot.

This is the most exercise that the cameraman has had in any of these videos.

Yeah lol the dlr hook changing side to side is quite tough because you have to constantly change which side you are on to show detail.

I’ve been struggling a lot with a guy who holds my lapel on the dlr hook side and crowds me a lot lately

@JonThomasBJJ Жыл бұрын

Use the stiff arm in the neck and you should be able to keep a lot of space and get the dlr hook.

I wish you would teach my young kids, they just started taking lessons, any advice? Thank you

@JonThomasBJJ Жыл бұрын

I would focus on string foundations, basic side escape, pin escapes, guard retention, submissions. It’s less complicated and will make a huge difference down the line
