Rafael Lovato Jr. breaks down the Double Underhook Stack Pass, a vital BJJ passing technique that complements the Single Underhook Stack Pass.

Key Takeaways:

  • Explore the scenario where you've successfully opened your opponent's guard and are looking to advance your position.
  • Learn why transitioning to the Double Underhook Stack Pass can be advantageous:
    • When your opponent shifts their weight to one side, making it easier to position their leg on your shoulder for the pass.
    • To prevent your opponent from countering with a triangle choke when they grip your arm.
  • Fundamental steps of the Double Underhook Stack Pass:
    • Begin by getting your arm under both of your opponent's legs.
    • Draw your opponent's hips closer to you, either by cupping their legs or holding their belt.
    • Posture up and pull their hips toward you.
    • Lock your hands under their legs, ensuring both legs rest on your shoulders.
    • Get on your toes and maintain a low hip position.
    • Choose your direction for passing, whether to the right or left.
    • Secure a grip on the collar and the belt to control your opponent's movements.
    • Execute the pass by moving to the side and using your knee to inch-by-inch arch your way to success.
    • Gradually release the legs, completing the pass.
