Recovering from a double under pass involves preventing the opponent from lifting your legs over their head and maintaining control to avoid the pass. Here's how to execute the recovery:
- Keep your legs flexed and heavy on the opponent's shoulders to prevent them from lifting your legs over your head.
- Post the back of your head on the mat and use your lower back and shoulders to stay heavy and start moving your shoulders.
- Open your knees towards the opponent's biceps to break their grip and scoop back, losing their leverage.
- For flexible practitioners, hip escape to the side and pummel your leg inside. You can then come up and grab the belt for counter-attacks.
- If you're less flexible, step on the opponent's hips to create distance, then insert butterfly hooks inside their legs.
- With hooks in place, you can start to come up in a butterfly position, putting one knee down and using your elbow to assist in coming up.
- From this position, you can grab the belt and have various options for counter-attacks, effectively neutralizing the pass.
Throughout the recovery, it's crucial to maintain grips, either on the collar or sleeves, to control the opponent and prevent them from securing a grip across your collar. Pushing with your heels and sliding your shoulders in conjunction with your legs will help you regain a safe position and set up for potential counter-attacks.
