Great I have the set but this video gibes a good perspective when I need a refresh.

[@MrMrbrianbechtel]

This is a dope pass, bout to start drilling this one. Thanks for uploading!

[@michaelcorcoran3942]

AHh yes I watched your video maybe 3 times on your previous body-lock pass video, and then just winged it against a good rubber guard player and had some trouble. I am trying to really nail rafa's knee cut pass and the overunder pass but this one is really cool too....its annoying how interesting passing is. Perhaps some day you could do a video on a pass you think best for MMA (risk of up kick) Thank you for the videos!

[@Bossykhan]

Nice rush guard 👍🏼

[@dosomething3]

Fantastic

[@braydonbell6493]

What do suggest when they go for omaplatta

[@theSASarethebest]

What happens if you you get your left leg past their knee but they clamp your right leg really tightly with their legs? Do you just start working half-guard and forget the pass?

[@AbsoluteMMAStKilda]

Keep the bodylock and get your left hook on top of their right leg, pass through towards mount.

[@theSASarethebest]

@@AbsoluteMMAStKilda Yeah, i've watched your other video many times; I tried but it seems to take a lot of force to open the leg (and i'm by no means weak, obviously not bragging lol). I may just be doing it wrong/too slowly, should it take so much force?

[@AbsoluteMMAStKilda]

Shouldn't take too much force. Hard to say without seeing you do it though

[@theSASarethebest]

@@AbsoluteMMAStKilda Ah okay, it's probably my technique then. I'll have to try again haha, thank you

What if they have the longest femurs in the world?

Thanks pal. I have some trouble initially. When I get the bodylock, my partner usually butterfly sweeps me. This is when I'm standing and shoot in for the lock on a sitting opponent. Any tips?

[@grapplingdude]

Hi Absolute MMA. Could you kindly share with me the best way of defending / countering the Body Lock pass. There is a guy in our gym who does it a lot and unlike the Rugby Pass, I cannot counter the higher arms by coming into a Wrestling Switch type defense since my chest is blocked.

[@goku-pops7918]

Would you please do a video on arm trapping from the back. Driving me crazy.im a stocky guy maybe its just not for me.thanks for your vidd has helped me loads
