This Month's Expert: Ricardo De La Riva

It has a low glycemic load for something that tastes so sweet, and is mildly anti-inflammatory which can help with sore joints.

with Vicente Junior
 3rd degree De La Riva black belt Vincente Junior shows us a method for breaking your opponents posture from guard, with a bonus choke. They'll never see this one coming and you'll probably be able to use it a few times at school before they figure out what you are doing. This is a very sneaky choke!... WATCH NOW >
