Guard Passing Using the Headquarter Position (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to pass the open guard using the headquarter position. The opponent is playing open guard with their back on the mat. Lucas moves in and controls the legs by gripping one side by the foot and cupping the other leg on the shin. He steps in with his knee, placing it over the opponent’s leg forcing them to open to the side. Lucas now posts out with his hand and cuts his knee thru as he steps back with his outside leg to pass.
