About Ricardo De La Riva:
Ricardo De La Riva Goded, pupil of the GrandMaster Carlson Gracie, started to train in January of 1980, at age 15 years old, in the house of family friend Marcos Vinícios - also a pupil of Carlson Gracie. When Marcos noticed the ability with jiu-jitsu of De La Riva while still a blue belt, he took him to the academy of Carlson Gracie where he continued his training.
Since the beginning, De La Riva helped Master Carlson to give lessons until in 1986 he was awarded the black belt. It was at this time that the great mark of Master De La Riva became known: his style of classic and offensive fight where one leaves, mainly, the hook known as "De La Riva Guard". A great part of this knowledge came through undisputed victories against great adversaries such as Royce, Royler and Rolker Gracie. De La Riva defeated Rolker and Royce in the same competition (Royler twice).
In 1993 he stopped competing regularly to dedicate exclusively to teaching his pupils, having formed or helped in the formation of such champions as Rodrigo Minotauro, Rogério Minotouro, and Marcelo Grosso amongst others.
Now Master De La Riva is giving seminars around the world where he recounts a little of his life and he shows his magnificent technique.
