Crossed Knee Guard Pass

A Technique from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
By Cláudio Moreno and Andres Lenta

		This position starts with your opponent ( opp ) doing the seated guard (butterfly guard), trying to sweep you with the hand on your belt.
		First thing to do is to balance your body, moving your opp back to the ground.
		After putting his back close to or on the ground, release one of his hooks (the left foot in this case).
		Put your knee inside his guard, crossing it to the ground and at the same time you are going to put your hand under your opp arm - clinch your opp. This arm is the opposite arm that your knee is crossed. In this case, Cláudio's right knee is crossed over Andres's right leg, so Cláudio uses his right arm under Andres's left arm.
		Here is a detailed picture showing the next Step.
		Hold the opp's collar or the sleeve with the hand that is at the same side of the knee that is crossed (left hand in this case) and keep crossing the knee until your leg is totally out your opp's guard
		Put your head below your opp's chin. With that you will make your opp forget about his guard and he will allow your leg to escape from his guard and at the same time with your head under his chin it will keep him from moving his hips out.
		Just another angle/view of the last step.
		If you did everything right you are now at the side mount. Now adjust the Immobilization.
