A New Way To Control From The De La Riva Guard That Doesn't Hurt Your Knee 

You’re in guard, without grips, and your opponent steps one leg forward, what are you going to do?
You can keep trying to play half guard and get kneecut passed, or you can use the most common control in competition jiu jitsu - The De La Riva Guard.
The de la riva guard is used by white belt hobbyists to black belt world champions, in the gym and on the mats of the World Championships.
In this video, I’ll show you my modified de la riva hook that won’t hurt your knee and a key detail that will help your elevations into various attacks.
