After Monday night's class, Jerad, Phil and I messed around a bit with some guard passes. This video is a little longer than most, but I thought I'd include some of the practical applications during live grappling. As always, Jerad did a great job filming. Phil was a good training partner. With the added bonus of his great sense of humor, we had an entertaining session.

When you put your knee in his crack as you said are you using your elbows on the pressure points on the inside of the legs as well? Do you take any extra measures if they are wearing shorts instead of pants, just grab leg hair?
Nice video and I really liked the practical application.
Grab leg hair? Don't think so.
Josh, lol on the hair pulling. sorry I didn't get a chance to comment before Phil got a shot at you. He's just afraid we'll try that on him. :) The knee-in-the-butt-crack technique is a technique all in itself. I just like to incorporate it to add aditional pressure on my opponent.
The passes that invovled grabbing the gi are great for gi grappling, but for no gi grappling, we have to change it up a little. This would not be my first choice for a no gi guard pass.
i like that counter to the scissor sweep. i haven't learned that yet.
the lighting is always better when shooting is at night.
the informal presentation here makes this feels like documentary footage. i keep waiting for a voice over to say, "this is rare, never before seen footage of grandmaster Phil's early training . . . "
Yep, only joking Phil. So do you prefer more of a stack escape with no gi?
I couldn't say. It really depends on the opponent and what might be available. The reality is that one usually uses a combination of pass techniques, going one way and then the other and then taking advantage of any slight opening.
