How to Pass a Tough De La Riva Guard

As my friend Black Belt Seth Shamp told me once, “you don’t pass a Guard, you untangle it.”

This really helped me start to think of breaking down the weaknesses and holes in guards as well as focusing on patience when figuring out how to pass guard.

Here, I deal with a particular tough version of DLR where they’re gripping the arm on the foot post side. This makes a lot of the standard passes difficult.

The usual plan is to break that grip but sometimes that’s difficult. So, I came up with a different way to untangle and pass.
