BJ Penn and the "Near Side Underhook Pass"

Pan feed from Budo Videos broke down sometime this morning after I logged off for a little while. So here's some guard passing from BJ Penn. Interestingly, the work he does with the knees and flattening the legs is reminiscent of what Cobrinha was focusing on during his seminar.

I'm not sure if "near side underhook pass" is the best way to describe this pass. What is key to me is the way the knees and legs are used, as well as the switching back and forth from side to side. But a very nice pass I'd like to see about discovering ways of setting up.
