About this video
Defending against a stack pass when the opponent has locked their hands:
- When the opponent locks their hands, create distance. If you're unable to separate their hands, come underneath and start playing to your hips.
- Force your knee inside while making your hips heavy on the side. This makes it difficult for the opponent to initiate a stack.
- Pummel your foot all the way through and gain two-on-one control. Play to a hip from this position.
- Bring your hand inside and keep your hands locked. Use this to slip your knee inside the opponent's shoulder.
- Push the wrist, slip your knee inside the shoulder, and then frame back on the hip.
- Create heavy hips by reaching inside, gripping your own knee, turning your hips to the floor, and pummeling. This is how to defend once the opponent locks their hands.
- The key is to make your hips very heavy by curving your spine. This is the main defense against a stack pass when the opponent has locked their hands.
