A bullfighter-style pass using grip control to redirect the legs and dash around.
The toreando (bullfighter) pass controls both of your opponent's legs by the pants or ankles, redirects them to one side like a matador, and you dash around to side control. Speed and timing are essential — you must move as you redirect, not after. The toreando is the cornerstone of the speed passing game and is extremely effective against open guard players. It pairs well with leg drags and long-step passes as part of a passing combination system.
