Dealing with an opponent's heavy base during a knee slice pass:
- When the opponent defends by placing their knee on the ground and opening it to increase hip weight, making inversion difficult, adjust your hand from your knee to their chest, using your knee to help push their torso.
- Turn your palm up and push against the opponent, hand to hand, with the goal of bringing their leg to your abdomen. To lighten the load, kick their torso as you pull their leg, reducing the strength in their leg.
- Pull their leg towards you and open your leg, placing the side of your shin behind their buttocks. Slide your hand to their heel, open your knee, extend your hip, and pull their leg, turning them inwards.
- Before they complete the turn, bring your hip close and open your leg, placing your forearm and shoulder in front of their knee to prevent them from escaping the hip and establishing a strong guard.
- Kick with the hook, maintain contact with the other leg, and use the grip near the hip to pull and disappear, crushing both of their legs. This prevents them from removing the bottom leg for inversion and maintains pressure on the top leg to prevent knee removal and guard establishment.
- Continue the pressure, then slide, focusing first on the leg. If the opponent defends by adding more weight to the leg and sitting with the knee on the ground, keep your knee high near their chest.
- Move the hand that was behind the knee to the forearm on the chest. As they apply pressure to pass your guard, bring your hand under their thigh.
- Then, with the hand that was on the chest, embrace hand to hand for the power to quickly pull their leg to your abdomen. Kick their torso to make their leg lighter and easier to pull towards you.
- Keep the same grip, knee close to your chest, open your leg, and place the side of your shin behind their buttocks. Slide your hand to their heel, extend your hip, and turn to the other side, pulling their leg to make them rotate.
- Before they finish rotating, open your leg and pass the hand that was inside over the top, embracing and controlling the hip, and bringing your hip closer to theirs to prevent them from removing the knee.
- Use the hook to kick, control the hip, and keep your hip close to theirs. You can use your hand to help you rise strongly, but move laterally, not forward, aiming to control the leg and hip.
- Keep the hook active to control the bottom leg, preventing them from removing it or inverting. Maintain pressure so they cannot remove the knee, stay strong, focus on the leg, and then worry about the torso, embracing the head and descending.
