Torreando <strong>Pass</strong>: Variations & <strong>Pressure</strong>

Overview

The torreando pass is a classic guard pass using collar control and hip movement to bypass the guard.

Collar Control Setup

• Control both sides of the collar
• Use collar pressure to break posture
• Keep hips mobile for hip swing

Hip Swing Mechanics

Swing your hips toward their head while maintaining collar control. This movement sweeps their legs away while you pass to side control.

Timing Considerations

Attack torreando when they are defending other threats or when their legs are less active. Avoid against opponents with excellent hip mobility.

Defensive Counters

Defeat torreando by maintaining guard frame and controlling the wrist. Create space before the full hip swing is completed.
