00:00 - When trying to do a knee cut to pass the guard, we are often met with a strong knee shield by the guard player. As the top player, to get around the knee shield, we can post on their shoulder and their shin as we step over their knee shield leg putting ourselves in a butterfly half guard. Then, we switch sides and shuffle our feet as we leg drag their knee shield leg. If at any time the bottom player lets their knee drift away from their chest, we can enter the smash pass position. If they are doing the right thing, keeping their knee to their chest, then we will leg drag.

00:01 - When trapping arms from the back, we have to use our top leg to trap the arm which means our opponent will go into a turning escape to defend. We will need to use our arms to stop the turning escape so our legs are free to trap the arm. We can do this by either being heavy on the top shoulder or taking the bottom shoulder off the mat.

00:10 - When attacking from side control, we are looking to destabilize our opponent's limbs by extending their elbows out and away from their body (far side underhook or shelving the near arm) or bringing their elbow's across their center line. When we are struggling to do this from side control, we can use movement to accomplish this task. We can look to move into positions like north south, and in this video LIMI highlights a specific variation of north south where you have a reverse underhook.
