The best De La Riva guard course I own. I didn't use my De La Riva guard much in my game and that changed after watching Nicholas' course several times, a great addition to my game. It's really worth it.

Excellent
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:The Deep De La Riva Guard
Hands down one of the best Deep De La Riva instructionals out there if you want to hone your skill on this type of guard. Nicholas' approach into teaching his favorite techniques is slightly different from the other materials out there regarding this topic.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Simple, direct and effective
I love how Nicolas keeps his jiu jitsu simple, direct and effective. This item is priceless.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Great instructional video !
Great instructional video !
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Very detailed and helped me
Very detailed and helped me understand de la riva more and elevate my game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Must Have!
Super detailed and structured approach to the De la X Guard. I feel very insecure in the "normal" De la riva guard with collar / sleeve or collar / pants grip and usually lose this guard very quickly. As a beginner, this variant gives me more connection to my training partner and I have the feeling that I have more time for my attacks because the guard is not so easy to pass. Absolute recommendation.
