double underhook pass

AM Class

Technique-
-breaking closed guard- same as last night
posture with gi/chest control, hip control, switch to double hip control as you rotate hips and break guard. knee up to block the closing of the guard again. scoop double underhooks, scoop opponent onto lap (elbows in tight, grip tight). grab same side gi with thumb in collar and fist down, other hand grabs like rope to take out all slack. rotate while sprawling (fold opponent in half), make knee touch opposite shoulder.

key to the move- stay TIGHT with as much pressure as you can put on. opponent is in a very uncomfortable position.

-variant guard break and pass
same as above, but use free hand to feed opponent's hand under back as you pass. possible gi choke by dropping elbow on ground and rotating for the choke.

-defense against double underhook pass
-1st line- before opponent closes up grip- hips up and heavy, possibly butterfly hooking on thigh
-2nd line- opponent scoops you up onto lap, has grip tight- hips up high, and then suddenly drop while pushing opponent's arms up. free at least one leg. possible triangle choke here.

drill
the key- relentlessness, as with most passing. if opponent breaks, reset and go again. possible to switch to an over the leg pass (a la marcelo) amidst the transitions.

rolling
don't recall any major issues. half guard game was working well, didn't get passed.
