De la Riva Guard Basics & 4 Great Options

Overview

Jason Hawkins demonstrates the fundamentals of De la Riva guard, focusing on establishing a shallow hook and collar grip to off-balance an opponent. He walks through four distinct options based on the opponent's reactions: a triangle entry when the arm goes under, an armbar or rollout when the arm goes over, a whizzer back take when the opponent retreats, and a Parabola roll for a high-percentage back take. The video emphasizes reading base structure and simplifying complex rolls into rotational mechanics.
