Shoulder Roll Recovery From Knee Shield Smash Pass by Bruno Frazatto When your opponent starts to pass and your knee begins to go down, use your leg to push them away and place your leg more in their belly. Ensure your bottom leg is not extended, as this will prevent you from spinning. Instead, use your toes and start to elevate your shoulder. Spin under your opponent and open your leg in a big circle to replace the guard. While the best option is to keep your knee in place for leverage, sometimes your opponent will do a good job of smashing it. In this case, use your elbow to push the frame and use your leg to push and place your leg more in their belly.
