What Will You Learn?

The Reverse De La Riva System
A structured, high-level system that transforms Reverse De La Riva guard into a dominant platform for sweeps, back-takes, and submission threats under pressure.

 Course Overview

Mikey Musumeci, multiple-time IBJJF World Champion, brings precision and flow to Reverse De La Riva (RDLR) guard. Instead of just maintaining control, this system teaches how to use RDLR as a base for attacking—seamlessly moving through sweeps, entries, and dominant transitions. It’s built for those who demand structure and performance under resistance.

 What You’ll Learn

• Positioning Foundations & Frame Mechanics
  Key grips and leg placement: hook angle, shin positioning, sleeve control.
  Hip and ankle connection points for dynamic control.
  Posture considerations and frame adjustments to maintain structure during attacks.
• Sweep Systems & Entries
  Hip bump sweep from RDLR using leverage-based weight manipulation.
  Leg hook and tilt sweep chains refining toppling entries.
  Sit-through and blast-pass reconfiguration to maintain pressure and positional dominance.
• Back-Take & Submission Transitions
  Entries into back-take control via seatbelt and hook across opponent’s back.
  Choking threats and kimura grip setups following sweep entries.
  Flow sequencing: sweep → back-take → submission expansion.
• Flow Drilling & Live Context
  Partner drill formats for integrating RDLR structure with live flow.
  Sparring sequences that show RDLR use under opponent pressure.
  Coaching prompts that build decision-making and timing under kinetic stress.
