Great DLR details
I idolized a lot of competitors that has good DLR. But they don’t explain it well when they teach. Mr. Danny here explained it really well.

A Must Have
I like everything about this video.; the simple title of the series, i.e. De La Riva Fundamentals, the breakdown of the techniques, and the copious number of demonstrations after explaining each technique without talking. This is definitely a must-have item for anyone's collection of BJJ instructional vidoes, and it puzzles me how the overall rating of this series is less than five stars.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Awesome
Varieties of very well explained techniques to develop a good DLR foundation.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻DLR Review
This instructional is fantastic. The teacher goes through the DLR from start to finish. How to get to the guard, maintain, and then execute sweeps/subs from there. I would 100% recommend this for anyone.
Well rounded de la riva toolkit!
D. S. provided an compact and nevertheless deep instructional where he covers all main aspects and spots of de la riva game. He shows each technique step by step a couple of times from different angles first and then he is showing the technique a couple of times with moderate oace so that can follow easy. He also covers the main do's and dont's in context of techniques and the .timing of them. Absolutly recommend this! Especially for DLR starters
Excellent reference
Great instructional for lower belts but also for more experienced ones who need to improve their game. I like the fact it goes through the different ways of pulling guard - not many instructional teach this.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great overview of De La Riva guard!
I'm pretty new to de la riva and needed a guide to kickstart my understanding of the guard. Danny's instructional has given me plenty to chew on for a while. The techniques are clear and he covers why and when you would choose certain techniques over others. I've found success with reviewing two or three techniques at a time, then trying them out in practice to have multiple options to attack with. I would recommend this to anyone without much de la riva knowledge who is looking to speed up their progression.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Fantastic
I really loved this video. Surprised by how good this was.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great Start
