Tech .. Single X to X guard

var 1 - Crab Ride, Back Take

1. stretch w X guard, need to underhook his lead foot, but heavy n on the mat so ...
2. my off left off hand on back of his knee, pull twist down so his knee comes forward n onto to my chest like he's doing KoB ... that makes his lead foot light n space there for me to get under his foot n grab his pants leg on other side
3. off hand comes under too, grabs my other wrist in kimura grip -- that helps pass his leg over my head n to the other side
4. if he's turned, n there's space, get my left knee behind his knee for Crab Ride Back Take.

var 2  -- Knock Down to leg drag/folding pass

1. got the leg to the other side, my left (same side) arm overhooks his foot
2. my right hand cups just above his knee, pulls/twists back to right n knocks him down
3. my left foot which has been underhooking his knee, butterfly hook lifts high
4. I scoot in close so he can't scrimp n make space
5. my left hand grips his collar and comes up in leg drag / folding pass.

var 3 - Tech Stand up

1. got his leg to other side, underhook that leg
2. my bottom leg posts on his thigh and pushes to stretch him out
3. as i come up on lift his leg up into Tech Stand Up n knock him down

** killer detail ... var 1 n 2, CUPPING the KNEE ... 

on my mind:

• Aoki Lock / heel hook var
• Pop up Pass
• Surfer Pass
• Side ESC
• Butterfly Sweep -- Wardinski Game
• Roger cross choke from mount / coupled w armbar from mount
