4-Part Advanced Lesson -- Marcelo demonstrates how to successfully rebound back from a near-sweep directly into a pass: Oftentimes, after hitting a Double-Leg Takedown (a.k.a. Front-Tackle, Morotegari, Baiana, et al.) you will end up inside of your opponent's Closed Guard; begin your shot by bringing your knee down over your leading-leg's toes to help close the distance and bring your opponent down to the mat. [0:10] Once grounded, place both of your hands on top of your opponent's biceps to stop them from controlling your posture. Stand up in a staggered stance and switch your hands from your opponent's arms to their sternum and knee; push your opponent's leg down the ramp of your thigh from the inside until their ankles uncross and you have space to perform a Double-Knee Pass (a.k.a. Ananais-Pass, Leg-Staple Pass, Knee-Over Pass, et al.). [0:43] While standing up to break open your opponent's Closed-Guard, don't configure your base into a square-stance when pressing their leg down; step your leg back into a staggered stance on the same side as your hand that's inside your opponent's knee. [1:18] If your opponent happens to capture both of your legs while standing for a Double Ankle-Pull Sweep (a.k.a Lumberjack Sweep, Kagatogaeshi, et al.), land on your butt and engage your core to remain seated upright; push your opponent away from mount by pressing them back at their stomach with your hand as you perform a Technical-Stand into the Double-Knee Pass. Don't push your opponent back high up at their shoulder, otherwise you run the risk of giving up an Armbar.
