Over-Under Pass

passintermediateGi & No-Gi

A pressure pass stacking one leg over your shoulder while underhooking the other.

The over-under pass has you driving one of the opponent's legs over your shoulder (over) while underhooking their other leg at the thigh (under). You apply heavy chest-to-chest pressure, walk to the underhook side, and use your head and shoulder to flatten them as you clear the legs. It is the signature pass of Bernardo Faria, who used it to win multiple world championships. The over-under is devastatingly effective for heavy, pressure-based passers.
