Sao Paulo Pass

Also known as Tozi Pass — the canonical term used on this site.

Training background: Regional name used in some Brazilian grappling communities — refers to the same shoulder-under mechanic

The Tozi pass drops the near shoulder under a butterfly or X-guard hook, trapping it to the mat with body weight and passing over the trapped leg. Also known as Sao Paulo Pass and Wilson Pass.
