Marcelo & Chris help Joel understand the ins and outs of reverse-passing the Half-Guard: If your opponent attempts to play an Octopus Half-Guard, i.e. propping up onto their near-side elbow while reaching across your body and underneath your far-side arm, you cannot let them maintain their height nor allow them to undermine your base with their hips; aggressively pummel your far-side elbow back inside to front of your opponent, or possibly look to take their exposed back if they don't have strong grips. Battle to place your elbow as far up your opponent's back as possible while pressing behind their triceps with your lat; cement your position by making a grip on their jacket to help anchor your grip and prevent loss of positioning. Also fight to win the battle against your opponent's near-side elbow with your hips; scoot as far backwards as you can to occupy both spaces beneath your opponent's armpits. Once you've stabilized yourself on top, work to free your trapped leg and then run towards North/South after you break free from your opponent's Half-Guard. Rely on the advantage of being on top by leaning your bodyweight hard against your opponent's pressing arms. You can accomplish the same Turning-Pass (Hip-Switch Pass, Reverse-Half Pass, Inverted-Half Pass, et al.) when your opponent has won the Under-Hook; however, you can no longer slide higher up towards your opponent's head and you must keep a strong, tight and low grip behind their back during the execution of the pass.
