Thanks, Walker. This is a cool pass and it is always nice to learn things that work both Gi and NoGi.

This is a lower body pass, involving controlling your opponents legs, tripod-ing, freeing your trapped leg, and ending in side control.

Start From Half-Guard Top, your right leg is trapped in Half-Guard :

1 – Dive your head down, end posting on it with your left ear on your opponents left hip, and putting heavy pressure on your opponents solar plexus. (be heavy to prevent choke attempts)

2 – lock your wrists around your opponents legs. Try to be between their hips and knees, but closer to their knees.

3 – squeeze your arms together to weaken their leg clamp on your trapped leg.

4 – kick your trapped leg back and move to side control.

5 – Back-turn, scoot your back up their body and prepare to mount

Option starting from closed guard:

A – grab opponents armpits. lunge knees forward, like you’re doing squats. Repeat this until their guard opens.

B – Push their right knee down with your left hand, while you pin their left hip with heavy pressure from your right hand.

C – pass into half guard, go to 1 above and start.
