Using The Stack To Chase The Back

Transitioning from stack pass to back control:

1. When facing a flexible opponent or difficulty entering a stack, consider transitioning to attacking the back to apply psychological pressure and capitalize on their guard defense.
2. This technique can be initiated from the knees or feet, focusing on the concept of 'when' rather than specific hand placements.
3. Pressure passing often blurs the lines between techniques as you chase and pin your opponent, making them uncomfortable.
4. Guide your opponent over their near side shoulder using your leg and arm, avoiding rolling them over their neck to prevent injury.
5. Drive your opponent over until your knee comes in, establishing a seat belt grip to either secure a crucifix or take the back.
6. Use your knees, legs, and chest to prop and push your opponent, encouraging them to roll over.
7. In No-Gi, or if the opponent lacks sleeve grips, stack them up, switch grips, and use your chest to drive them over into a seat belt position.
8. If the opponent is comfortable with their feet on the floor and resists the roll, cover with your knee and drag their leg over your hip to enter a strong leg drag position.
9. Establish a tight pinch on their hip and either hug around the head or create an underhook to force a pathway to the back.
