I got a question for Nogi.
The underhook passes have been a staple of my game for a long time. The Double underhooks pass, and the infamous "Gracie Gift" guard pass.
When I am rolling with the gi I have no problems securing the pin because I can control my opponents hips using the gi pants and the lapel, before I get the crossface.
Recently I have been going up with guys with excellent hip movement in no gi and I was wondering if any of you had any tips on securing the hips while passing no gi. It's tough for me to get the pin without controlling their knee or grabbing their lapel to keep from rolling/turtling. Especially when they start throwing in the "stiff arm" defense.
Any advice would be appreciated.
