About this video

Executing a knee cut pass against an opponent with a strong ankle grip:

  1. Begin by establishing long step grips, grabbing the opponent's pants and collar.
  2. Cut the knee out while dropping to both knees and perform a windshield wiper motion with the legs.
  3. Pop back up into the knee slide position, ensuring the opponent's hip is compromised and preventing them from re-establishing the Reverse De La Riva hook.
  4. Use your hips to push the opponent's leg out and drop your shoulder onto their chest, avoiding a direct position across them.
  5. Once in close proximity to the opponent, release the pants grip and secure an underhook.
  6. Connect your hands and apply shoulder pressure.
  7. Complete the knee slide pass transitioning into side control.
  8. If the opponent's leg feels strong, shift your hips outwards, placing more weight on the outside foot.
  9. Use your entire body to drag the opponent's leg past as you drop your shoulder onto their chest.
  10. After gaining the correct position, let go of the pants, secure the underhook, hug the head, and finish with the knee slide.
