Setup & key ideas

Before you start

  • The guard is open and you can control one leg between your thighs while reaching under the other.

Key ideas

  • Restrict their hips with the over-and-under connection before circling.
  • Keep the overhooking elbow close to their thigh as you adjust the passing angle.
  • Retain hip control through leg clearance, then secure the upper body.

Common pitfalls

  • Reaching too far can expose the overhooking arm to a kimura.
  • Clearing the feet does not finish the pass if their frames still block your upper body.
