Tips on passing scissor guard

anyone? thanks in advance.

by scissor guard you mean Z-guard?

the guy in the guard has his legs in the scissor sweep position. His hips are scooted to his right w/his right shin in contact w/my hips.
thanks.

Sprawl, stay tight, squeeze his legs together and walk around...

Catch your base with your right arm.
Put your left arm on his knee, cup his knee with it.

Thrust with your knee towards his left hip (the one that's on the ground), leaving the foot on the side where it was, and throw your left leg over.
Sit back. His heel opens for a heelhook.

to pass, you can sprawl and bind his legs together to control his hips.

there are few ways to control his hips.
you can grab around them with both hands, or take one hand and go under the top leg (if he's on the hip) and over the bottom leg, cupping his quad on the bottom leg.
You also press the top leg down, glue it to the bottom leg, with your chin and chest.

From there, you take whichever side is available.

Heel Hook ;-)

thanks all. very much appreciated.
