Sit Up Guard Pass to Side Control (Advanced)

Special guest from Japan, Kenya Yamanaka, shows how to pass the sit up guard and get to the side control after defending the opponent’s sit up guard sweep attempt. The opponent is using the sit up guard and Kenya goes for the under hook. He uses his other hand to grip the opponent’s opposite side knee. The opponent tries to sweep Kenya, but Kenya uses his head to post on the mat and pushes the opponent’s head in the opposite direction. Kenya then turns his knee in and traps the opponent’s leg on the mat. He then switches his base and gets to the side control position.
