Many Brazilian jiu-jitsu guard passes can be adapted for use in mixed martial arts. Here the cross knee slide guard pass is used to achieve side mount control.

	Denis stands in his opponent’s guard, right leg forward, firmly controlling the ankles.
	Moving swiftly he cross-drops his right knee across his opponent’s right thigh – his opponent begins his own counter by sliding his shin across Denis’s hip.
