JJU 17-14 Two Handed Torreada Pass Defense
Add to Favorites 1425 Remove From Favorites 4143 days ago
Sometimes your opponent will initiate the torreada pass looking to get around your legs just enough to drop his hips onto your body to immobilize you to finish the pass. In this case, your hands must frame against your opponent's body before their hips are able to apply pressure. Using your frame, immediately shrimp away from your opponent to clear enough room to get your legs between you and your opponent to recover the guard. The pass defense must be built into reflex to achieve an instant response to stop your opponent's pass attempt as every second that you give to them increases their opportunity to pass.
