Deep Half | Step Over Pass

Escaping from deep half guard and passing:

1. Start in regular half guard and prevent the opponent from securing a deep underhook and going under your leg.
2. Once the opponent enters deep half, focus on freeing your knee by pushing their leg down and pinching your knee to the mat for control.
3. Use one hand for balance and keep your toes on the mat. Continuously fight against the opponent's leg to prevent it from going above your knee.
4. Create space to switch sides by pushing the opponent's head down and opening your knee as much as possible.
5. Slide your hips across the opponent's face, replacing your grip with your elbow in their armpit, and begin to slide your knee out.
6. Control the opponent's leg with your hand and slide your elbow to their knee, lifting your knee to shift it across.
7. Use your other leg to kick the opponent's bottom leg away, flexing your foot to make it easier to slide out.
8. Step on the opponent's leg to maintain control and prepare to transition to north-south position.
9. Control the opponent's hips to prevent them from following you, and switch your head to the other side as you move into north-south.
10. Stabilize in the north-south position, ensuring your elbow is high to control the opponent's arm and your leg is free from their grip.
