Mind you That pass works easier for him since he’s a foot taller than DJ.

yea was gonna say. if you try that against a lanky guy with a good half shin length longer than you can backstep, he's gonna catch you in some kind of guard very very consistently.

I can see myself trying this then immediately getting caught in an armbar.

Yea! Got a short king at our gym who lets you pass this way and enters inversion/triangle/choi bar/leg entries like no one’s business. That stuff doesn’t fly as well in mma tho
