Saulo teaches the guard pass that he used during his opponent's guard pull in the Absolute finals match against Fabio Leopoldo at the 2013 IBJJF Master Senior World Championships.

At the same time we cut across at an angle to steer around our opponent's legs to pass their guard while they are pulling guard on you.
