About this video

Completing the pass with a grip switch when unable to finish the stack pass:

  1. Maintain a strong pin and prop with the stack pass, pulling and closing elbows without being able to complete the position.
  2. Bring the back arm through to the front, making a palm-up grip on the nearside hip or punching the arm across the opponent's body.
  3. Lock the arm in front of the nearside hip, go thumb down when reaching the arm through, and run the hip backwards.
  4. Position the head to slide from inside to outside the legs, transitioning between a stack pass and a leg drag.
  5. From a strong stacking position with a prop, the knee can be on or off the mat for stability.
  6. Sneak the hand around the corner to make a palm-up grip, release the leg on the head by shrugging the shoulder and walking the hip back.
  7. Close the elbow and move into side control, maintaining the same process if the arm is extended all the way through.
  8. Establish a good stack position, keeping knees off the mat if balance allows, and ensure the opponent is stuck over their shoulders and cannot roll.
  9. Complete the pass by sneaking the arm through and running the hip back.
