Check out this beautiful guard pass by my 'master' Adem Redzovic (side note: leads nicely into twister side)

Now in dealing with him earlier today, he passed in a nearly identical manner. Now having seen this video before rolling with him, I knew what to expect and I had definitely felt this in the past. He says this works on 99% of guys and I figured the one percent were the guys that time and execute that next transition. When we rolled, instead of shrimping out and giving space for his shin to slide through, I conserved the clinch and pinched my knees and tried to get to lockdown, which I succeeded at on 1 out of 3 attempts. The other two, he turned his hips and advanced past my line of defense to keep balancing. He's amazing at this type of passing; just post your hands out, making him feel your weight, and slipping past a guy's points of contact. It's like he's taken the concept of applying pressure and turned it into an art.
In any case, securing the clinch can be a very draining thing and it's tough to latch on forever. Getting on my side and getting a deep underhook can be tough too if he has a good knee pinch and is totally based out on all fours. Dealing with this level of passing is the type where you know it only takes one mistake for him to smash you. Be interested to hear what you all think
