About this video

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:

  1. Keep your legs flexed and heavy on the opponent's shoulders to prevent them from lifting your legs over your head.
  2. Post the back of your head on the mat and use your lower back and shoulders to stay heavy and start moving your shoulders.
  3. Open your knees towards the opponent's biceps to break their grip and scoop back, losing their leverage.
  4. 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.
  5. If you're less flexible, step on the opponent's hips to create distance, then insert butterfly hooks inside their legs.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
