This week in advanced gi we continue our de la riva work, but look at some alternative version. So many different routes we can go depending on your preferred style. We will be exploring de la riva x this week.

Daniel Bianchi and Bekah Bradshaw we all know 8pm on Wednesdays is cooler!

You can also iron them on. I got that idea from Thomas Rozdzynski, however best practice to do it right when you get them. Otherwise, if the tape peels at all you may be putting a hot iron on glue.

Hot iron + glue = smoke  (don't ask how I know). Glad I tried this when I was home alone 🤣I also had a former training partner who was a painter that just painted them on.

I do spray with Lysol at the very least. If it were to get funky, as I've washed them before.

Bekah Bradshaw we could do this on Wednesdays, just saying.

This week in advanced gi we look at attacking our partners when they decide to play de la riva. 

While while my favorite option of a wrist lock isn't viable, there is alway the toe hold, the wrist lock of the feet!

See you Wednesday to explore the wrist lock of the feet.

Daniel Bianchi I there was too much trauma from that day for any.

Something uptempo. I’m not focused on the songs but it sets the tone. 

Volume should be up but not loud enough to drown out Daniel Bianchi trash talking. 

Fun fact, no country music at the Sunday open mats after 3 people were injured. 🤷‍♂️

Advanced gi has been looking at de la riva the last few weeks. 

This week we shift focus from offense to defense to pass. 

Sometimes the best way to make a position stronger is by knowing your partners options!

Advanced gi will continue our de la riva block with a look at attack options. 

Did you miss last week? Well no worries, we are going to start with a review of the split sweep everyone seemed to like. 

See you Wednesday at 8pm!
