I learned two guard passes from the position where you step over the bottom person's leg so that their leg is trapped. If their legs are open then the option to knee slice, shin slice, or x pass is there. A lot of times the bottom player will cross their feet which takes those options away. I still have two pass options from this position.
The first is a smash pass to the opposite side. If I am over the bottom players right leg, I want to smash his legs to the opposite side and pass. My right hand grabs the same side lapel and my left goes to the otuside of B's right knee. I stand up a little to give myself space to turn both my feet at an angle (about 45 degrees to create a diagonal line across B's body). The angle gives me the leverage I need to help smash the legs. My chest drops down so that it is touching my left hand and using both my hand and my chest, I smash the legs to the side. I can usually slip my right leg out at this point, but before I do that I windshield my left shin over both B's legs to trap them. Once I have my shin trapping B's legs, I can then release my right leg and post out. At this point I can release the lapel with my right hand and cross face, driving B's body up. This motion helps to create space and allows me to bring my right knee in tight to the body. From here I can simply mount with my left arm having a underhook.
My second option is when the bottom player resists the smash to the side.When I feel them resisting the push on the outside of their leg, I bring the inside of my right knee to the inside of B's right. I straighten my right leg and in one motion collapse and slide my right knee/shin along B's right shin. This motion puts a lot of pressure on B's leg and makes it difficult for them to keep the leg trapped. More often than not my leg will slip out. I end up in a position where my right hip is laying on B's legs and my right hand is gripping the lapel. It's important to keep my right elbow in tight to the hip. My immediate reaction is to plant my head on the ground and jump to the other side. When they turn into me again, my left arm comes across their back with my elbow tight to their hip and I jump back over again. Everytime I jump over I post my head and hand on the floor.
Knee slice/Shin Slice
Off the same guard passing position when B's right leg is trapped. If the legs are open I can knee/shin slice. The main difference between the two is what comes over the leg first. If I am knee slicing, my right knee comes up and over B's right shin. Once I clear the rest of my leg I use my left hand grip on the outside of their leg in conjunction with my body to shift their legs over to the side. I end up at the end of a leg drag position.
The shin slice is similar except my shin windshield wipers over first. I've had more success with the shin slice and find it easier than the knee slice. An important detail is to keep the inside of my right knee against the inside of B's right knee.
Grip detail: Instead of gripping the outside of the knee, I can grab the bottom of the pants at the ankle.
Sometimes the bottom player will bring their left leg across the hip to create space and stop the slice. They will also hook their right foot and start playing a reverse De La Riva position. At this point my left hand goes to grip the bottom of the pants on B's right leg. My right hand lets go of the lapel and comes around the outside of B's left leg and I pass the ankle grip in my left hand to my right. My left hand can go back to gripping the same side lapel. I push my knee into the thigh and when they push back I straight my leg and knee slice out like in the pass above. Expect to jump over the side immediately. If I don't have to jump I can just pass and bring B's legs over my right to isolate their hip movement.
Double Under:
For this double underpass I grab the pants above the butt. This is different to the traditional arm wrap that is shown. With the pants grip I pull the bottom player onto my quads. From this point I pick a side that I want to pass. If I choose to pass to the right my right arm comes around the hip. I have two grip options. The first is I can leave my forearm against B's hip. The second is to get a thumb in grip on the cross lapel that is no higher than their belly button. This is to keep them from having the chance to push on the elbow and stop the pass. From here I use my left grip to pull B up while I post my left foot and use my left knee to post againt B's butt. My right knee comes next to B's hip. As I start initiating the pass some flexible people may be able to resist. To finish the pass on these people I have to redirect their body. To do this I let go of my left hand grip and punch my forearm/bicep against B's hip. This motion will help to clear the legs. A pass option off of the lapel grip is to grab the bottom of the same side lapel with my left hand. I can wrap my arm beneath B's body as they are elevated. This creates a trap for their hip and makes it hard for them to hip escape out.
