In this video Lucas Lepri explores a pass when your opponent has single leg x. First, he takes his training partner’s foot off his hip and collapses his weight. It is an important detail that he turns his knee toward the center line. He wants his knee facing his opponent’s hip. Notice how Lepri grabs a cross collar grip with his palm facing down. He states that there should be no space between his hand and his opponent’s neck. From here he is able to finish the knee cut pass.
