Overview
This video addresses the common struggle of passing half guard when chest-to-chest pressure fails and the opponent secures an underhook. The instructor demonstrates two primary solutions: the twisted half guard pass, which uses a hip rotation and leg hook to neutralize the opponent's turning power, and a knee-wall entry to break stubborn squeezes. Both methods emphasize timing, leverage, and waiting for the opponent to commit to sweeps before executing the pass.
