| Ricardo de La Riva Goded |
When looking through the list of Carlson Gracie Black Belts on the BJJ Heroes site part of a name jumped out at me. A term we are all familiar with "De La Riva" from Ricardo de La Riva Goded. I always thought "de la riva" meant "of the river" and was named that because there was some affiliation with how your legs resemble a river while in the de la riva guard. What do I know? - obviously that was based off of pure assumption. Well, I stand corrected!
Click on the Ricardo de La Riva link above and read about how his guard was developed. Personally, I like the term "De La Riva" better than “Guarda Pudim” (Pudding Guard).
