Chain passing
Type
Concept
description
Chain passing concept: connecting knee cut, long step, leg weave, leg trap, torreando/throw-by, and arm weave based on opponent reactions.
entries/setups
Switching between HQ branches (knee cut/long step/leg weave) and blending in distance passing (torreando/throw-by) as described in the study’s conceptual sections.
position
Open Guard
key details / teaching points
Core idea is constant re-attacking side-to-side with pressure and timing until guard breaks; opponent stays defensive and tires, leading to forced turtle and pass completions.
common mistakes
Resetting to neutral after resistance; treating passes as isolated attempts instead of linked options.
counters & defenses
Defender forces resets with strong frames/grips; repeated re-guarding to break your rhythm.
