Continuing our seminar on guard retention, we show how this basic drill applies on the ground when someone is trying to pass the guard. There are a lot of counter attacks along the way.

The Double Unerhook pass is one of the most foundational passes in jiu jitsu, so it is extremely important to have a good defensive plan against it. This video I go over the main ways your opponent will try to attack you with this pass and a basic defense against each one. The stack pass defense fundamentally very different than most pass sequences so a lot of common defensive techniques will not work the same.
