Pass: Najmi Stomp To Truck

De La Riva pass counter when the opponent grips the pants:

1. Recognize the difficulty of passing when the opponent grips the pants, limiting movement and traditional guard pass options.
2. Instead of using the hands to break the grip, employ the 'Najmi Stomp' using the back leg to break the opponent's grip on the pants.
3. Begin by popping the De La Riva hook and setting up grips for the pass, noting the pant grip.
4. Take a side step towards the gripping hand and push the grip towards the mat to lower it.
5. Look towards the wall to maintain balance and step on the opponent's shin, above the ankle, with the back leg to break the grip.
6. As the grip breaks, extend the leg fully out, and simultaneously punch the mat with the opposite hand while reaching for the opponent's collar with the other hand.
7. Jump or walk to the opposite side of the opponent as they turn up into a turtle position.
8. Release the collar grip, allowing the opponent to turn up completely, and transition to the same side control position as before.
9. As the opponent turtles, insert the left knee to the side and the right leg on top, maintaining the grip.
10. Kick to get the shin hook, adjust the back, and take the opponent's back transitioning into the truck position previously learned.

This technique provides a seamless transition from breaking the pant grip to taking the opponent's back, utilizing balance, grip control, and precise leg work.
