CLASS: Passing the X-Guard (10-Jul-25)
Class Instructions
•
9m 43s
When your opponent gets into X-Guard when you're standing, the easiest pass is to push his top foot down onto his bottom shin to unhook the X legs. You can also left and weave your leg around his leg to unravel. To prevent the stand up sweep when you fall forward, split your legs evenly and hold on to his sleeve.
