2 passes from Bruno

1. over/under from reverse dlr.

underhook: shoulder deep. collar grip. ear tight to thigh.
pants grip: underneath knee.

elbows tight.

shuffle over to flatten back as you stuff knee. pinch your knees over their knee and keep walking to release the hook. hips square (don't switch hips). trapped leg kicks up and comes underneath.

finish the pass.

2. spider with lasso pass.

base low: hips low and sunk back. arms relaxed (no grips)

shuffle to center. roll wrist underneath on bicep side. grab shin.

suck elbow in tight on lasso side. shoulder pressure on shin and then back of knee to make their leg cross the center plane. switch head to opposite side of knee and smash legs down to leg drag position.

deep lasso: walk back
shallow lasso: walk to side

weave hand underneath and inch up mat to release spider grip. or switch hooks and extend leg before walking hand up to release grip.

------

spider grip - hook grip and then punch down (fist/knuckles down)

vs. guard pull- anticipate and quickly pass. get comfortable base or pass quickly.

vs. sitting single leg- control foot and put in hip pocket. armpit/collar control. stuff between legs and begin the pass.

vs. reverse dlr- hands on mat and switch sides. cross knee to quarter mountish position. float over, cross legs, etc.

reverse dlr vs. driving pass: ankle grip. use hooks to create space and then switch to kiss of dragon. can't just go to kiss of dragon.

vs. berimbolo- opposite pants control. hook shin and pull inward. hand on mat as you escape hip and forcefully release their dlr hook. dlr hook them back. switch grip to pants and belt. lean on side, suck hooks in, release toes to mat and leg drag. leg drag straight back, not to the side.

**focus: keep head lower when passing.

Davi workshop

from reverse dlr passing:

1. underhook leg. shoulder pressure. downward grip and then twist thumb up. they try to weave leg- catch and redirect to mat. raise hips up slightly and switch legs to leg drag position. push ankle while pulling hip. elbow tight as you finish the pass.

2. same setup as #1, but you push hook in and release the hook. step back in to trap the hook. over/under variation.


dlr passing -

1. sit to calf lock. they try to come up- spin under, release lock and take the back.
2. sit to calf lock. they stay down- reach behind head and leg drag.

kiss of dragon stuff-
1. kiss of dragon to reverse x guard. they stand- kick and standing x guard sweep.
2. they base on knee- switch grip on knee, kick leg out and sweep over to back. base up to leg drag.
3. they sit to hip and hand- sit up, cup hip, stand up and base to leg drag.

toe hold from 50/50 setup-

adjust leg to middle of chest. push lock down and turn out, briefly exposing your back and giving up calf lock. as they sit up you scoot hip back and dive for toe hold. adjust grip. one elbow comes up and the other drops as you rotate over.

----

opening up the underhook from reverse dlr- pin ankle to butt and then push out.

Bruno leg drag

squat stance
break collar and then clear dlr hook (standing: quick pop out. or quick kneel to other arm helps to disarm)
lean weight on knee and open the angle your knee
sole of foot stays in contact with ground (whole sole- do not lean on toes)
heel of palm collar grip to pin them to ground
outside pants grip

a) they do not put pressure on your hip- pop hip and drag

b) they put pressure on your hip- slight back step (not too much) and drag across
*drag straight across, not crescent like before

-->either drop straight to knees or inward knee pressure/toes point towards opponent's hip

finish-
keep pants grip
transfer to collar grip
open your knee and plant on mat
hook instep to prevent 50/50 recovery
*best with both knees on mat- adjust to sink lower to plant second knee
smash their knees down
belt grip or horse collar grip
pressure on hips/leg, not high on head/shoulders

head position: either spearing them in the chin or on far shoulder (think about the end of the pass)

1) high knee in armpit. grab crossface over the arm and pressure with shoulder. switch grip to smash the legs down and complete the pass.

2) keep horse collar and use shoulder to prop them up. get head on other side of arm. chin tight on other side of shoulder. seatbelt grip. hip ride/back take position. either insert bottom hook as they turtle or insert top hook and roll them the other way.
