From High Noon BJJ Team

Continuing from the last video, we talk a bit about dealing with reverse De La Riva - a common, effective inversion mechanism from the guard. If we fail to address it early, the guard player can create opportunities to off-balance the passer, entangle the legs, and even expose the back.

Here we briefly demonstrate framing at the hip to prevent the guard player from rotating underneath and note that a careful study of pressure application can be helpful both in maintaining our base while passing and limiting the guard player's offensive opportunity.

P.S. Is my uke slightly impaired here or not? 🤔 You be the judge 😂

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
