Over-under pass
A slow pressure pass: one arm under a leg, the other over the other thigh, stacking them onto their shoulders before you walk around. Good against flexible guards.
Step by step
- Thread one arm under one of their legs and wrap your other arm over their other thigh.
- Drive your head into their belly or hip line and stack their weight onto their shoulders.
- Walk your hips around toward the side of your overhooking arm, keeping the stack.
- Slide your chest onto theirs and settle in side control.
Details that make it work
- This is a slow pressure pass, not a speed pass.
- Head pressure stops them turning into you.
Common mistakes
- Letting their bottom leg free as you circle.
- Keeping your hips high.
