De La Riva Guard Pass Variation when Opponent Shrimps Out (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 but in this scenario the opponent defends. 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 now releases the De La Riva grip by moving his foot away. The opponent reacts by coming up on his elbow and shrimping out. Gabriel lets the opponent sit up and follows him to the side control position.
