Non-Stop de la Riva Guard Gameplan

“A World Champion’s Step-by-Step Masterplan for Sweeping and Submitting Your Opponents from the de la Riva Guard”

Nonstop de la Riva Guard is an instructional from the Nonstop Jiu-Jitsu series with Brandon Mullins.

You can check out (and preview) every volume in this series on the FREE Grapplearts BJJ Master App for your Apple or Android phone.

This is a step-by-step system for the de la Riva Guard.  You’ll get a blueprint for adding this super-effective and competition-proven guard to your game, so that at every stage of your attack you’ll know what to do next.

Your instructor will be Brandon ‘Wolverine’ Mullins.  Brandon is a BJJ black belt, a world champion, and a gifted instructor.

Brandon is working with Stephan Kesting, BJJ black belt, author, and founder of Grapplearts.com.

First Brandon will teach you the exact grips, hooks and body position you need to effectively control your opponent and prevent him from passing your de la Riva Guard…

Then you’ll learn the most effective de la Riva Guard techniques to sweep and submit your opponent, broken down into easy-to-follow steps by Brandon and his friendly teaching style….

But in every guard position it is unlikely that your opponent will just stand there and let you sweep him.  He’ll resist, fight back, and try to pass your guard…

That’s why for every technique in the Non-Stop de la Riva Guard app you’ll learn exactly what to do if your opponent tries to resist.  By knowing what to do you’ll be able to use his resistance against him and simply sweep him in a different direction, or submit him a different way.

Now after you sweep your opponent you don’t want to end up stuck in his guard and put yourself in danger.  You want to pass his guard!  This is why the de la Riva system you’re about to go directly from your guard sweeps into your guard passes, just the same way that the top competitors do.

All the techniques tie together, which makes it a gameplan.

If you’re not using gameplans in your jiu-jitsu then you’re giving your opponent an opportunity to turn the table on you after every technique you try.  Single moves are great, but they’re not what high-level jiu-jitsu is all about.

Non-stop de la Riva is a system where each move works together with the others; the techniques set each other up, and provide you with options if you run into problems.  That’s why this super-powerful guard system is easy to learn and implement on the mats.

Brandon is able to take the highest level of jiu-jitsu and boil it down into its simplest steps. That’s why in this instructional you’ll get complete, beginning-to-end, cradle-to-grave strategies.

This instructional gives you the formula that you can use to frustrate your training partners on the mats and defeat your opponents in competition.  Boiling down all that complexity into a step-by-step process so that you can use the same techniques, combinations and strategies that elite-level professional competitors are using.

Adding the de la Riva Guard to your game has never been so easy!

ABOUT BRANDON AND STEPHAN

Brandon Mullins is a BJJ black belt based out of Houston Texas. A very active competitor, Brandon has tested himself in well over 200 competition matches at BJJ, no-gi submission grappling, and Judo tournaments.

He has compiled a phenomenal record, both with and without the gi: he’s won gold medals at the Black Belt division at the No-Gi World Championships… And at the European Championships… And multiple gold medals in the Advanced division at Grappler’s Quest… And medals at the Mundials, the Pan-Ams, the US Open, and the Gracie World’s.

Brandon is a small guy: he competes at 118 lbs.  In an average BJJ class there are usually women and children bigger than he is.  In order to be successful despite the size disadvantage he has had to become a very technical grappler, evaluating every position, paring away all wasted movements and never relying on brute strength. His disadvantage is our gain, because surviving on the mats as a smaller grappler has made him a superb (and very popular) teacher of the art of BJJ.

Stephan Kesting is a BJJ black belt, and a Combat Submission Wrestling instructor. He has been training in the striking, grappling, and weapons-oriented martial arts for over 30 years.

A master teacher, Stephan has helped thousands of grapplers improve their skills through his crystal-clear instructional apps, DVDs, online videos and articles at his flagship website Grapplearts.com.
