Passing Trying to remember some passing details that I learned from class and from a training partner recently. We learned that its okay to pass and open guard in no gi if you hook the arm over the thigh (REALLY hook that hand over their thigh) I learned from the classmate how to pass open guard by using two arms to pull the leg over and then to split their legs with my knee while their legs are facing downward. Or I can pass by basically grabbing one leg, keeping it between my knees and holding it there with my arm (keep arm tight, or kimura or he can sneak his legs out), wrap the other leg and start pressuring forward as I pass. And finally, to really pressure someones guard gotta "plank" into his legs. I totally realize this isn't a fully thought out post, but I'm hoping this will help me remember some passes.
