Hip Frame Concept | Stack Pass

Defending against the stack pass involves creating a hip frame to prevent the opponent from moving forward. The following steps outline the defense:

1. As the opponent begins the stack pass and tries to put a leg over the shoulder, immediately stop their hips with a frame and elevate your own hips.
2. Use the frame on the hips to prevent the opponent from smashing and passing. This frame is crucial for stopping the pass for a few seconds.
3. Flex the leg that is being pressured and use the hamstrings to push the opponent back slightly.
4. Open the leg against the opponent's biceps to create space and alleviate pressure.
5. Slide your back backwards, using a shoulder escape motion to break the opponent's grip on your leg.
6. As the grip breaks, switch the frame to the opponent's shoulder, pummel your leg inside, and regain control, returning to the regular open guard.
7. Throughout the process, ensure to keep your legs flexed and use your hamstrings effectively to maintain the correct positioning and pressure.
