Getting smashed in half guard when your opponent has the cross face and underhook sucks! Here are 3 of my favorite responses to this situation, including 1) the Kamikaze Sweep, 2) the Butterfly Lift, and 3) the Twist Sweep.

Each of these techniques has an aggressive option ending in a sweep where you get to the top, and a less aggressive option where you use the threat of the sweep to re-establish a good guard position. You can also chain these threats together making it extremely difficult for your opponent to hold you down.

How to over-under guard pass has changed over the years, fromThe Pressure Passing System (https://www.grapplearts.com/pressure). In this video 6th degree black belt Fabio Gurgel shows how the over-under pass was created as a natural combination of the stack pass and the torreando pass, and then how it has continued to change to adapt to new ways of countering this position. This is a fascinating glimpse into the history of BJJ.
