Toreando (bullfighter) pass
A speed pass: control their knees, push their legs to one side, and run around to the other. Use it when they're on their back with their legs up.
Step by step
- Standing, grab both of their knees or shins.
- Push their legs to one side and pin them to the mat, arms straight.
- Step around in a circle to the other side, moving your hips past their feet.
- Drop your knee onto their belly or go chest to chest before they turn in.
- Settle into side control or knee on belly.
Details that make it work
- Move your feet fast. This pass works on speed.
- Pin their legs to the mat, not in the air.
Common mistakes
- Pushing the legs then stopping, so they just recover guard.
- Passing so close that they can grab you.
