-push in legs, opponent pushes back, use momentum to pull out legs and toriani

-plant feet on ground, full body weight driven to opponent's feet- walk around

-driving knee on shin of side you want to pass, opponent pushes back, straighten leg and pass to knee on stomach

-x-pass

-over/under variation
