About this video

Executing a folding pass from a sweep single takedown involves several key steps:

  1. Start with a collar grip and circle away from your partner's leg to set up the sweep single.
  2. Take an outside penetration step and execute the sweep single.
  3. Drive up off your feet and pass the collar to your other hand, which is underneath, to secure both hands on the collar.
  4. Take a circular step backward with your right leg, flare your elbow out, and pull your opponent down to the mat.
  5. Widen your base and clamp your shoulder down heavily on your opponent's thigh.
  6. Place your knee on the mat, switch your head to an ear-to-ear position, and cuff your opponent's back to establish the folding pass position.
  7. From this position, you can either find the belt grip and pass or apply the knee on belly.
  8. Ensure your head is posted heavily on your opponent's chest to prevent their hip escape and maintain control.
  9. Finally, place your hip weight on your opponent to secure the folding pass.

This sequence allows for a smooth transition from a takedown to a dominant passing position and is frequently used at the highest levels of jiu-jitsu competition.
