This first guard pass begins with inside control, or pummeling to control inside of your partner's arms and hips from the front. This will also include your head; notice in the video that my head is below Keith's head, and my hands are inside of his hips, but not on the ground (not initially, anyway). Make sure your elbows are also inside of your partner's thighs, using your forearms as shields as you approach this dangerous position.

Drive your partner forward, making sure their back is completely flat on the mat. Once you get there, be sure to pinch everything in tight, preventing your partner from "hip escaping" from side to side. Pinch with your elbows as well as your knees. Now sprawl your right hip to the ground and then work your way around their right leg so that their right foot is trapped across to your right hip.

Next, the name of the game is to pass around one leg, keeping their foot trapped by your hips. To do this, push their right knee down with your left forearm (not with your hand, unless you're okay with being attacked with the Kimura from the bottom!) to the ground, and then carefully step over their knee with your knee (don't lift your hips up any more than you need to here!). Finally, finish the guard pass by establishing side control. Do this by hugging your partner's head, then backstepping around what remains of their guard.
