How to Pass with the North-South System
Our north-south passing system is a great way to get past your opponent’s guard if your regular outside passes don’t work. It works against different reactions and gives you multiple options to finish the pass.
The key to this system is finding the right angle and dealing with their frames to close the distance. If your opponent gives you space, you can post on the mat and run around with the hand block pass. If they keep everything closed off, walk all the way around and approach from the other side. If they try to recover by throwing their legs up, you can duck under and pass under their leg (and go back to a backstep if they block that).
Check out the video for details on each option!
By practicing these reactions, you’ll always have a way to get past your opponent’s guard in addition to your regular outside passes.
