A Great Reference For De La Riva Guard.

If you're looking for a great DVD to get a solid perspective on De La Riva Guard then I highly recommend Marcello Monteiro's De La Riva Guard DVD.

A few weeks ago I posted some videos that demonstrated the basics of this guard variation, if you want a more complete reference on the De La Riva Guard then you won't have to look any further than this DVD.

It begins off with more basic details on applying the De la Riva Guard and moves into more complex techniques while paying attention to all the precise details needed to gain a solid understanding and make the techniques work.

Here's just some of what is covered.

-Several versions of highly applicable sweeps that you can master and use to set your opponents up so that they can't see them coming.

-Set ups you can use to sweep your opponents and end up mounted on them, taking their back and even sweeping a standing opponent.

-An advanced hook control position.

- A sneaky set up from standing where you pull guard bringing your opponent into a triple sweep attack using The De La Riva guard to sweep your opponent and end up on top in side control.

-And much more.

As always the straight forward teaching of Marcello Monteiro helps give a clear understanding of all the necessary steps and intricate details.

This will serve as an instructional as well as reference on the De La Riva Guard for years to come.

Having Trouble Submitting Your Opponents?

Although white and blue belts should be concentrating on positioning, escapes and the basic submissions, setting up unpredictable submissions and using combinations is still an extremely effective way to catch your opponents.

If you're interested in a DVD packed with techniques and strategies for doing just that then I'd like to suggest Marcello Monteiro's excellent DVD called, Extreme Armbars.

The DVD is a clinic on Armbars and setting them up flawlessly.

Many effective combinations are covered such as:

-Switching opponents' arms during an armbar attempt using the triangle to set up the opposite arm for an armbar.
-An armbar off of attacking the back.
-Kimura to armbar.
and many more.

Also many nice armbar counter attacks are shown as well.

Including:

-Countering your opponent's defense against a standard armbar with a reverse armbar.
-Armbar counter to the neck crank.

Mr. Monteiro holds nothing back as he even shows some rare armbar attacks that you don't usually see.
The attention to detail as well as clear demonstration are what make the techniques shown so easily applicable to your game.

The true value of this DVD is that it makes an excellent reference to go back to for adding to your submission arsenal with techniques that are not only easily applicable but highly effective.
