The no-hand pass to mount, also called the basic half guard pass or 'shim,' is a fundamental guard-passing technique executed from the top of half guard without relying on hand control of the opponent's legs. TeachMeGrappling Coach Brian emphasizes that success depends entirely on positional details rather than strength. The foundational setup requires an underhook with a cross-face grip (hand around the neck), with hands locked palm-to-palm. The passer applies shoulder pressure by turning the hips, creating a subtle choking sensation that signals effective execution when the opponent grabs the shoulder. The passer then opens and plants the elbow for balance while walking on the toes to lift the near-side knee and escape the opponent's leg squeeze. Once the knee clears, it is thrust downward to the mat with simultaneous hamstring curling of the heel to the buttocks, preventing the opponent from reclamping half guard. The critical detail emphasized across all three videos is that both feet must exit simultaneously; dangling one foot creates opportunities for the opponent to capture it or execute an elbow escape leading to guard replacement or back-control threats. After securing leg freedom, the passer walks the opponent's arm progressively higher, maintaining the cross-face pressure with forearm control positioned near the biceps rather than the elbow, preventing overhook escapes. The final entry to mount uses a 'tipping' motion to insert the foot past the opponent's knees rather than forcing it straight in, followed by grapevine hooks and submission control via Americana or similar finishes. Coach Brian stresses that these details matter more than athletic advantages, demonstrating the technique against both larger and smaller, flexible opponents to show universal applicability.

MMA-specific body control and pressure
According to Coach Brian, when your opponent grabs your shoulder and looks away, that's a sign you're doing a great job—it means the shoulder pressure is creating a choking sensation that forces them to react.
Coach Brian recommends placing the hand around the head with the palm down, and then locking your hands together with your shoulder driven into the opponent's chest while turning your hip to apply pressure.
Coach Brian emphasizes that when you tip over with your foot already in place and your bottom arm pinned, your opponent cannot post or bridge properly—their arm is trapped together, making it nearly impossible for them to escape or reverse the position.
Coach Brian warns not to place your foot in from a high position, as the opponent can pull their knee up to block it; instead, tip all the way out until your foot gets in low, then bring your other leg over.
