Knee Shield

Your top shin is across their hips or chest and it is doing the work of a frame, not a block to lean on. Stay on your side, keep a grip on their sleeve or collar so they cannot flatten your shoulders, and hold the shin angled rather than straight. From here you sweep, recover full guard or come up — as long as the shield is alive, they are not passing.
