About this video

Passing the Reverse De La Riva guard involves a series of steps to effectively control and neutralize the opponent's legs.

  1. Begin by placing your hand on the opponent's leg and turning your arm inside their leg, ensuring your hand is on top of their thigh to block it.
  2. Your left hand comes over their leg while you start to pull their leg down slightly.
  3. Extend your right hand and simultaneously turn your leg inward, cutting your leg below theirs.
  4. Make sure to connect your leg over theirs and then jump over to the other side.
  5. As you jump, change your base and look to control their leg.
  6. Keep pressure on their leg and when you change base, the opponent will likely give their leg back to you.
  7. Once you've secured the position, release their legs and apply the belt grip to maintain control.
  8. Remember to place your leg inside theirs and your hand on top of their thigh.
  9. Your left hand controls their leg while you extend your leg slightly and press theirs down.
  10. After cutting below their leg, make a big jump over their head as they turn towards you.
  11. Turn your base and either control the belt or bring their leg towards you to control from the side.

These steps allow for a smooth transition from defending the Reverse De La Riva to gaining a dominant position.
