Nice instructional. I'm just NOW starting to play with DLR after 11+ years on the mat. Didn't think there was much I wanted to add to my game, but I love this guard and its options.
This is one of the positions I’m not really comfortable in. I’ve tried it out from time to time and honestly do not do very well here but your video has a very good break down and it got me excited to go and try it. I’m sure I’ll be adding a few hundred views to this video as I will use it for the next few weeks as a reference haha
@@jonathanwilliams1746 My principle on a triangle is that you think about your achilles and the top of leg/ass on the same leg. There's an imaginary line between those two. With any triangle, you want that line to pass through his neck and shoulder in a way that when you bring your heel and ass together, it squeezes his shoulder into his neck. Sometimes when you do a triangle, you dont get enough of an angle, so your legs are crossed too much behind his back. The imaginary line point a little too much front to back on him, so you're not squeezing his neck into your shoulder unless you really work hard by instead squeezing both thighs together. You should do this all the time, but it shouldn't be the primary force. Then you've also got to pull the head down too. This is also why people struggle with triangles from back mount. Your heel just needs to get over to his lat/shoulder area a little more so that that imaginary line is from shoulder to neck rather than front to back on him. THE NOTCH TRIANGLE: is the same principle, but the line is in the opposite direction. You post on your shoulder and go somewhat in the belly down position so that you knee is in front of his neck under his chin. Now the imaginary line still runs through his shoulder and neck, but your achilles is against his neck and get your ass behind his neck (don't be lazy, you've got to post on your shoulder and get your ass off the mat). So in this triangle, your head is on the same side of his body as the arm that you have captured. Also, if you are struggling while trying to make positional adjustments to a normal triangle and your opponent defends by sprawling on your leg, it will bust your triangle open. But this is a perfect time to transition to a NOTCH triangle and there is no problem anymore. Incidently the NOTCH triangle is also a great position to get a wrist lock or get a triangle/armbar, because your body is somewhat in an armbar position. Another triangle that makes use of this imaginary line between your heel and ass is to use it in a counter to the over/under pass. Think of what it would look like if you got a triangle from back mount, except you're belly down and he's trying to pass your guard. I'm going to see if I have a vid on this. I meant to make one and I don't know if I ever did...
Thanks for this, I'm just starting to actively pursue DLR in rolls, mostly aiming for the tripod sweep but I'll try some of these options too. You said at the start that it's more of a sportive guard, why do you think that is?
The scoop from the back. I noticed he was kind of scooted down or his weight was low crouched a bit. If the guy has a straight back and is standing tall would it still work?
Coach. When I DLR ppl, they tend to stand up straight. Can't always get the collar or sleeve. Is grabbing the belt an option without a wrist? Or should I try something else entirely?
Options for when your opponent is controlling the far leg. Because unlike your helper a opponent isn’t going to just stand there with his hands on his knees
@@KnightJiuJitsu wow! Never knew this. Yes my last name is also spelled and written de la Riva. It's not a common name so I was surprised when I saw another de la Riva. Lol.
I know both of those first two attacks but never put together their hand placement 🤯
Brilliant, thank you 🤙
Seems to help me to think that way about it although I don’t think it’s the most make it or break it detail. Thanks brotherman!
1:10 Basic DLR Setup
2:09 Triangle Choke
2:43 Basic DLR Setup (again)
2:57 Rolling Arm Lock
3:22 Standard Back Take
4:47 Berimbolo to Back
Thanks!
Oss!
OMFG THANK YOU....This is by far the simplest bolo I have ever seen thank you! Love your stuff the triangle is a fresh take as well.
Nice instructional. I'm just NOW starting to play with DLR after 11+ years on the mat. Didn't think there was much I wanted to add to my game, but I love this guard and its options.
Your videos are great for someone recovering from injury who can't spar right now :(
You’ll have so much to work on when you get back now!
Another great video from Knight JJ. Well done.
Watching this video to get me pumped up for class tonight. Great video as always! ✊
Super intéressant comme toujours oss!

This is gold. Solid fundamentals, thanks Eli
Simple is the best

I appreciate that and hope it helps. Just remember that de la Riva is a guard that should be played aggressively or not at all.
@@KnightJiuJitsu That one comment changed the success ratio of my de la riva game a lot 👏🏻
Really nice stuff
Very good 👏🏻
Excellent
Very nice!
I'm a 2 stripe white belt too much for me at the mo hopefully soon down the road
Update? I’m adding slowly and now adding more I’m a 4 stripe white
Brilliant video, does anyone have any links to similar stuff for no gi? 🤔
chingon ..!! gracias por compartir saludos...!!!
Cool new video! Haven't learned de la riva in class yet. I'm not happy with my instructor's teaching style. He's from Brazil.
Same here.. Sucks if theres no other school around to switch to and you feel like you're not progressing at all
Good job 👍🏿 professor! OSSS

Awesome.
🎉 great video
Thank you!
Thanks oss!
Helpfull thank you
good stuff!
Amazing
For the triangle I love to do the "notch triangle" rather than the conventional since your head is on the opposite side of his body.
What is notch triangle

You said at the start that it's more of a sportive guard, why do you think that is?
This is totally different but how do you take the back from when ur in front of them after getting out of closed guard
Incrível irmão
The scoop from the back. I noticed he was kind of scooted down or his weight was low crouched a bit. If the guy has a straight back and is standing tall would it still work?
Most the time it still will, but sometimes it’s more appropriate to do a double ankle sweep from there.
Coach. When I DLR ppl, they tend to stand up straight. Can't always get the collar or sleeve. Is grabbing the belt an option without a wrist? Or should I try something else entirely?
I would go straight for the belt then. Or better yet, the pants at the waistline as the belt can be less reliable.
Knight Jiu-Jitsu One. Good point. "Pants can be unreliable" also good point. Thank you! :-)
What’s up with the blue accent on the black belt where it would normally be red?
Here is a video I did with Chewjitsu to answer that question:

Didn’t know James Stewart was a black belt!
NICE 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Everything has a potential response and reaction. Look up how to pass de la Riva guard if you’d like options for the top person.
Not hiva.. it's de la Riva
It’s pronounced with the “H” sound in Portuguese, though.
@@KnightJiuJitsu wow! Never knew this. Yes my last name is also spelled and written de la Riva. It's not a common name so I was surprised when I saw another de la Riva. Lol.
Ooooooo thank you for this! Great setups! Love it!
Thank you, bro!
