In this technique, Marcelo enters into Xguard from halfguard.

Marcelo slides his knee through the middle to pass, the opponent turns just for a split second, so Marcelo capitalizes on the mistake by obtaining the seatbelt and putting hooks in.

Marcelo pinches the Head and Arm together, then sweeps using his left hook. Many times its difficult to obtain the Over/Under position, so the Head and Arm control is a great substitution.

Marcelo quickly sweeps with the Underhook, while blocking the far arm from posting controlling the elbow. He really drives his knee to the mat for space, then points his knee away to get pressure to free his leg.

Marcelo forces the opponent's back to the mat then preforms a standing pass. Marcelo pins the opponent down with his right hand, while kicking his far leg back to free his leg. He then goes to knee on belly then transitions to mount.
