The Over-Under Pass is guard pass made famous by Bernardo Faria. This pass is pressure based pass that is very hard to defend if you don’t know the mechanics behind the pass. This guard is an excellent way to pass the guard because it prevents your opponent from establishing the guard.

This technique consists of two important parts that you must have to successfully pass the guard, hip immobilization and pressure on the lower body. Establishing leg control by positioning your self over one leg and under another leg. Then at the same time applying pressure with your shoulder on your opponent stomach and hip. Also, the Head position is very important, your head should be glued to opponents hip.
