Guard pass from knees
I think this would be a good guard pass if you’re trying to conserve energy. It seems to be less physically taxing than the standing guard pass. I kept forgetting to push down on my partner’s sternum. In a real match, someone would just sit up and counter the pass by grabbing me around the collar or something. Gotta work on that.
- Posture up
- Slide knee under opponent’s buttock
- While pushing down on opponent’s torso, step out with other foot
- Shuffle foot out so body is perpendicular and posture is high
- Lower your body to break guard
- Scoot your shin over opponent’s leg hooking it with foot
- Hook opponent’s leg with other foot while maintaining grip on other leg to prevent sweep
- While securing opponent’s leg, step back and hip through to side mount
