In this online section of Guard Defense we focus on the Knee Slice pass. This is an excellent pass for an easy transition to knee on belly or numerous side control attacks.
When you are in your opponents guard, it is important to maintain control of the position. We do this by managing the grips (Grip Fighting 2.0) and neutralizing the attacks.
Once you have a "grip" on the situation, before doing your knee slice pass you need to set it up by controlling the middle ground. This is where we put a "twist" on things and really secure that grip.
Now that the grips are locked in and control has been established, it's time to knee slice! Even when your opponent attempts to knee shield it becomes ineffective with the proper framing and pressure.
Here we look at some variations of the knee slice pass including a sweet little elbow cut approach...oh yeah, and Tom gets choked a bunch.
