This guard pass requires commitment and some athleticism, but is quick and can take an opponent by surprise.
 |
Denis stands in his opponent’s guard, controlling both feet to avoid getting kicked or swept. |
 |
He brings his opponent’s legs tightly together… |
 |
…and starts to swing his right leg in a big counter-clockwise motion. |
 |
The swing carries Denis’s leg across to the other side of his opponent’s body… |
 |
…where he sits out and lets his right hip hit the ground. |
 |
A final adjustment of legs and arms brings him straight into side mount. |
