From A6 to A4 - The Mats are changing this Dads life 🥋

Checking in from Northern California! I’m Kenny, and at 40+, I finally traded the boring weight rack for the mats at Gracie Barra Vacaville.

The journey has been a game-changer for my health, but the best part? My little one reminding me every day: "Daddy, keep working hard!" Pigtails, Pink Gi, and the words good job daddy keep this guy going.”

I’m looking to connect with others here who are using BJJ to healthy up their lives. And our on this community continually learning.

Where is everyone training from, and what is the #1 thing you love about your journey so far?

The Health and Wellness it brings for me, my mind body and soul!

Reverse Lasso-Riva Guard with Daniel - Community Questions

In this video, Professor Daniel demonstrates an effective transition from lasso guard to a reverse de la Riva sweep, tailored for competition scenarios. Responding to a request from community member Brian, Daniel shares a technique that adapts the lasso setup into a powerful off-balancing and guard-passing sequence—ideal even for practitioners with shorter legs.Starting from open guard with sleeve control, Daniel shows how to apply a shallow lasso and react when the opponent stands and applies pressure with the knee. He then transitions into a reverse de la Riva hook, secures control of his own shin, and uses proper angling and momentum to off-balance the opponent and transition directly into side control.This is a practical, competition-tested technique with detailed breakdowns and key grips for efficiency and control.💬 Have questions or requests?
