    You are really helping me connect the dots and fill in the blanks. Look forward to purchasing an instructional at some point. I know it would be worth it.

    Brilliant! Thanks for your wisdom Lachlan! So much more efficient than the typical way this is taught.
  • Thank you! Very helpful. I have not had much success with this pass. I usually fail at it and now I know why. The details here are what I was missing.

    The last part is very interesting. People often don’t climb up their hips if they know you want to pass the guard this way. Next time I will try this thing and make them do that. Thanks for the video!
