This first guard pass that we are going to work is the single underpass. You have got to be careful that you don't get caught in a triangle when you are working it, but this is very effective way to cross your opponent's guard. So you are in your opponents guard and you have got good posture. We talked about the angle of our hips, how we want our hips to be up. Well, if you are in your opponent's guard, you want to change that. You want to push and look up so that you disrupt the angle of his hips, alright. I have got good posture, all I have to keep one hand right in the center of his torso. That let's me know when he sits up, it gives me little help, I can push him back down if I need to. This other hand, I have got it right on his hip with my elbow and the center of his top, right here. While I do that -- that's called a good posturing guard. My knees are spread out so that I have got a good base, I have got good posture, I have got good control here.
When I do this there are a lot of ways to break the guard open. There is first way, if you need help just grab on to his waistband and dig your elbow joint to his thigh and I am not pushing his thigh straight toward the ground, I am trying to push it off with the angle of my knee, okay. So it's not going straight down, it's kind of going off in an angle. I have got a good posture, I push his leg until his guard opens.
Once his guard opens, I take this hand and go under his leg, be very careful here that you don't set up in a triangle choke. When I do this I lean weight forward, I am not taking my body around his leg, I am going take his leg and throw it around my body. So from here I use this hand, I have got to punch with it, right around my body. You come up into a side now. If you are not careful with this, your opponent will setup a triangle choke. When, I get here, if I am little lazy with it, he will reach right up and finish the fight with the triangle choke right here. So the way I prevent that is when I am here immediately, once I go here, I like to lock this other leg with my arm to make sure he can't complete the triangle. I just drive my shoulder forward and punch with his hands, punch his leg right across my head, coming to a good side control, I am going the other way. Right here I will grab his waistband, I push his leg off in an angle, this arm goes under, I block his other leg with this arm so he can't get the triangle I drive my shoulder forth, I punch with his hands right right around my head. Notice that I am not trying to escape out at the back.
If I do this he will choke me. I am driving forward with my shoulder, punching his arm around my head, and then I come around into a good side control. Let's see that from a different angle. Right on our opponent's guard. This hand can service torso, this hand grabs on to his waist. I just drive his leg down, reach under, being very careful, I block the other leg, I drive forward with my shoulders, punch his leg around, come in side control. I will go the other way. Grab the waistband, it's good posture, good waist, break the guard, this arm goes under, block this other leg so I don't into the triangle choke, drive my shoulders forward and punch, right around in the side control.
That's a single underpass from the guard position, it's one way to work from your opponent's guard, open to your side now.
