More Guard Passing: Breaking Down BJ

And the "dope mount"

Here's a breakdown of the first pass in that BJ Penn compilation. I don't think it's the legendary nearside underhook pass that Laimon is talking about (that pass, I think, is a version of the cross wedge using the shoulder of justice instead of an underhook on the near side). But it's still a nice way to navigate the open guard.
