De La Riva Guard Pass to Side Control (Advanced)

Special guest Gabriel Goulart teaches a technique at Lucas Lepri Jiu Jitsu Academy. The opponent has the De La Riva guard and Gabriel works on passing the guard to the side control position. Gabriel first uses his shoulder and arm to break the opponent’s lapel grip. He pinches his knees together and moves to the side. He is now able to make the opponent release the De La Riva grip by moving his foot away. Once the opponent releases the grip, Gabriel moves to the side control position.
