COLE ABATE – DE LA RIVA MASTERCLASS

COLE ABATE – DE LA RIVA MASTERCLASS

The De La Riva Masterclass is the newest series available on AOJ+ and is taught by 2026 IBJJF World Champion Cole Abate.

The series features the techniques and concepts that Cole has applied throughout his career, which allowed him to become a world champion at every belt level, and establish himself as one of the most technical and precise of his generation.

With more than 8 hours of technical instruction, the Masterclass provides a complete approach to the De La Riva guard, covering control, sweeps, back takes, and submissions.

The curriculum is organized into three comprehensive categories, Basics, Fundamentals, and Mastery, creating a clear path from foundational concepts to advanced application.

01
Build Complete Control
Understand grips, positioning, distance management, and off-balancing so your opponent is forced to react on your terms.

02
High-Percentage Sweeps
Learn to recognize reactions and transition seamlessly into sweeps that work against resisting opponents.

03
Attack the Back
Develop the timing and connections that lead naturally from De La Riva to dominant back takes.

04
Finish the Fight
Understand when and how submissions emerge from the position instead of forcing them.
