When I was first started doing tournaments I had a really good closed guard game but my open guard really sucked. My instructor (also a lanky grappler) told me to start using the de La Riva years later I realized he was teaching me to use my length against people and the de La Riva is great for grapplers with longer limbs.

You can still use this as a shorter grappler but it is much easier to tangle people up and maneuver around with longer legs.

Today’s drill is simple when you get to this position people are going to try and pass by shoving your leg down. Simply cross your feet like you are in guard keep your legs tight and take them to the side. Worst comes to worse they don’t square back up so you go back to closed guard or attack some submissions. If they do square up it makes for an easy sweep by going the opposite way and using their momentum.

You can use a cross collar grip or sleeve grip from this position but I usually always control the ankle to stop them from moving to fast.

In my opinion this is one of the easiest triangle setups to hit live rolling. You just need to make the person post a hand on the mat and you’re set.

This has been one of my most used setups in my jiu-jitsu career I love it. I started doing it as a blue belt and perfected it since then.

You can hit this from guard or knee shield and you can use the concept from almost anywhere.

Most people will say no the push pull triangle is the easiest! I could agree with that as well because it is simple and easy. But once you get the simple movements down on this triangle you will beat everyone with it.

Huge congratulations to rob he has been training 9 Years all together including judo, army combatives, jiujitsu, wrestling.

He is more than deserving of his purple belt. Rob came into our gym about a year ago and we became really good friends. I am happy to promote him to his purple belt!

This technique was extremely useful to me coming up through the ranks. I actually remember hitting this at blue belt worlds to win one of my matches.

Once you get the mechanics down it is fairly easy to Hit on people.

I used it about five times last night rolling just to refresh myself on the technique. If you have a nasty knee shield or half Guard game this position more than likely has happened to you.
