    Common BJJ Problems & FAQ

    Q: Why does my opponent keep escaping my De La Riva guard to back take attempt by turning their hips away from me?

    When your opponent turns their hips away, they are creating space. To counter this, use your DLR hook to maintain a tight connection on their hip and simultaneously drive your shoulder into their opposite hip, preventing them from generating rotational power to escape.

    Q: How can I generate enough leverage to transition from De La Riva guard to a back take when my opponent is much heavier and stronger than me?

    Against a heavier opponent, focus on using your opponent's weight against them. As you initiate the back take, drive your weight into their chest and use your DLR hook to pull their leg across your body, creating an off-balancing angle that allows you to climb your hips and secure the back.

    Q: What is the most common mistake white belts make when trying to secure the back after a De La Riva sweep, and how can I avoid it?

    A common mistake is not clearing the opponent's leg properly after the sweep, leaving it in a position to defend your back take. Ensure you actively pull their 'free' leg across your body and use your shin to control their hip as you transition, preventing them from regrabbing their guard or escaping.

    More Questions

    How do I prevent my opponent from escaping when I transition from De La Riva guard to the back?

    Maintaining tight control of your opponent's hips and legs is crucial. Focus on securing your hooks and keeping their weight on their heels to limit their mobility as you initiate the back take.

    What are the common mistakes people make when trying the DLR to back take?

    A common mistake is losing the DLR hook too early or not establishing a strong secondary control (like a seatbelt) before transitioning. Also, rushing the transition without proper body positioning can lead to losing control.

    When is the best time to attempt a De La Riva to back take?

    This transition is most effective when your opponent is posturing up or trying to pass your guard aggressively. Their forward pressure and attempts to create space can be exploited to initiate the back take.
