In this series, we go over the de-la-riva guard. We focus on keeping my opponent from passing, using a lot of off balancing and transitions to guards such as x-guard and single leg x.

We review several sweeps from all these positions as well as some finishes from the back. The techniques are not  overly complex but still very effective at high levels. We learn to navigate the guards and focus on adjusting based on our partners reactions.
