About this video

Transitioning from the over-under pass to the folding pass involves using the lobster claw grip around the opponent's shin, either over or under their leg. The over-leg grip facilitates a cleaner transition but is harder to secure.

  1. Apply heavy shoulder pressure on the opponent to lock their leg in place.
  2. If the opponent frames against the shoulder, preventing the application of pressure, keep the knees pinched together.
  3. Shift your weight forward and rotate your hips in the opposite direction of the trapped leg.
  4. Place your knee under the opponent's thigh, switch your hand position, and transition into the folding pass.
  5. Focus on transferring all weight into the upper body, making the legs light, while still pinching the knees to isolate the opponent's leg.
  6. If the opponent frames and attempts to escape, lift up into a tripod position, pinch the knees, and continue to rotate the hips.
  7. As the opponent's knee approaches the floor, switch the hand, step over, and attempt the folding pass again.
  8. Continue applying shoulder pressure and be prepared to step over the opponent's leg multiple times to secure the position.
  9. Be patient and persistent, making the opponent carry your weight, and trust in the effectiveness of the technique.

Combining these pressure passes requires a balance of weight distribution and timing, ensuring the opponent is worn down by the constant pressure and weight.
