Step 1
Use the low guard pass when you are on the floor in the guard position. The guard position is when your opponent is flat on his back and you are on your knees facing him with your fists gripping his belt. As you lean over his body, he is wrapping his legs around your waist with his ankles locked behind you.

Step 2
Hold your elbows in tight to your body as you push against his torso with your hands and slide your body firmly down, breaking open his ankle grip and opening his legs.
-
Step 3
Pin his right leg by pushing your left elbow into his inner thigh and pressing it to the ground while maintaining your grip on his belt. Lift your elbow as you quickly lift your left leg, bring your knee to the top side of his leg. Press your toes and knee firmly into the mat as your shin pins his leg down.
-
Step 4
Bring your left arm up over his chest to his right shoulder, pressing your forearm into the mat above his shoulder. Release your grip on his belt with your right hand and lean over his chest so that you can press your right forearm into the mat near the side of his body. Swing your right leg over and fall onto his chest, entering into side control.
