Toreando Pass | Guard Pull | Long Step

Executing the Long Step Pass against a guard pull involves precise timing and positioning:

1. Anticipate your opponent's guard pull and be prepared with a collar grip on the opposite side of their collar grip.
2. As they step on your hips to pull guard, switch your grip to their hips and perform a long step towards the side where you have the collar grip.
3. It's crucial to act before your opponent organizes their legs and grips. The pass must be executed quickly and at the right moment.
4. Instead of grabbing the triceps as in a regular grip, squat down with your hands ready to block their hip as they pull guard.
5. When they pull, sprawl on top of their leg while keeping your hips low and start working towards the side with the collar grip.
6. As you sprawl, open your collar grip and drop your elbow to initiate the long step, placing your forehead on their shoulder and keeping your head down.
7. Depending on their leg movement, use your hands on the hips to block and control either the bottom or top leg.
8. Push the hips away to create distance and sprawl on their leg, using your toes and slightly bent knees for leverage.
9. Walk your elbow out and long step towards your opponent, maintaining balance with an open elbow.
10. Control the legs by pushing the bottom leg away or blocking the top leg, depending on which one they use to counter.
11. Finally, go onto your toes, drive towards your opponent, hug their head, and stabilize in side control.
