Technique Description

The Over-Under Pass is a powerful, pressure-based guard pass in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. The passer secures strong control by placing one arm over the opponent's thigh/hip on one side, while the other arm goes deep under the opponent's opposite leg, often gripping the belt or far hip. This configuration pins the opponent's hips, often stacking them slightly. The passer then applies heavy shoulder pressure and uses head positioning while systematically walking their body around the legs to flatten the opponent and achieve side control. It's known for its effectiveness in neutralizing hip movement and grinding through the guard.
