Defending Over Under Pass | Triangle

Defending against the over-under pass involves a series of steps to prevent the opponent from successfully passing the guard. When the opponent attempts to pass with the over-under, the first action is to make the leg heavy across their neck. Simultaneously, grab both of their elbows and pull to create a 'steering wheel' effect, controlling their movement.

1. Apply pressure with your leg against the opponent's neck and pull their elbows to keep them open and prevent them from closing the distance.
2. Use your right leg to hook inside and touch the floor, setting up the next movement.
3. As the opponent continues to pass, move your head away from them, bring your leg across their body, and use their momentum against them.
4. Swing your leg outwards with force, placing your right foot on the floor and twisting your hips to disrupt their base.
5. Control the opponent's arm to prevent them from posting and pin their knee to limit their movement.
6. When the opponent pushes back, extend your hips to the back corner, taking advantage of the momentary opening in their leg grip.
7. Quickly bring your knee up to your chest, pointing your toe, to set up for a triangle or omoplata submission.
8. Lock your feet and decide whether to finish with a triangle choke or transition to an omoplata, depending on your preference.

This sequence not only defends against the over-under pass but also creates opportunities for submissions by capitalizing on the opponent's reactions and openings.
