Crab Ride

Gordon Ryan explains how the berimbolo changes without the gi: tight-waist grips instead of the collar, the knee-behind-knee position and what to do when the opponent throws their back flat.

A straightforward back take from K-guard when they try to stand and extract the trapped leg.

A no-gi De La Riva back take that steers the opponent over with the legs instead of a full inversion, with fallbacks to single-leg X when they post heavily.

Moving from the De La Riva hook into the crab ride position as an alternative route to the back.
