As with all other guards, the key is breaking opponents' posture. Easier to do if you have sleeve grips.Meerkatsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04147715586194844173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724305.post-22848811155975011472011-04-11T10:45:03.059+01:002011-04-11T10:45:03.059+01:00Dela riva and reverse dela riva is 80% of what I p...Dela riva and reverse dela riva is 80% of what I play in open guard in no gi!

The top guys in our sports are so accessible to the fans / practitioners.
