Description
In this course we cover the strategies and attacks that successful De La Riva Guard players use in competitions and in the gym. The course is set up to be a blue print for how to think about the De La Riva guard in a systematic way. The course breaks the De La Riva Guard down into three sub positions: Collar-Sleeve DLR, Collar Ankle DLR and Far Sleeve DLR. On each position we get into the entries and exits, the mechanics of the technique, common mistakes and key details to be aware of. I hope that you enjoy this course and looking forward to seeing you on the mats soon!
