Early on in my grappling I tried to do a lot of low passing and passes like this but would usually fuck them up and get triangled etc. Typical white belt stuff, but this prompted to me start passing on the feet utilizing knee cutting, x-passes, long stepping, using the Galvao torreando etc from thereon. It solved my immediate problem with the errors I was habitually committing on the knees/low and so I stuck with it.
After a couple years of that and some suggestion by my instructor to try and hone a low pressure game to try and leverage some of my physical strength (powerlifting background), I watched Faria's DVD and have been trying to give the over under/ double under style game another go and it's just a mess. Seems like I always find a way to get knocked off balance while tripoding, allow a guy to create space to utilize butterfly or bicep rides, get caught with bad entries when trying to enter the passes from standing, or eventually end up in the glorious triangle trap.
By default I've just been going back to standing passes when I'm getting stuffed and swept in these rolls and I'm not sure where to go from here. When passing low it always feels like I'm diving into a danger zone and passing on the feet seems to make more sense to my brain. On the other hand, it'd be cool to not have to deal with DLR etc.
Should I keep trying to hone this or just try to improve what typically works for me already on the feet? Any advice for improving the low/pressure game as a standing passer?
