Safe Execution of the Stack Pass
To ensure safe execution of the stack pass, it is essential to prioritize slow and controlled pressure over speed and explosiveness. Holding the stack position until the opponent decides to give up rather than forcing the pass can prevent injuries while still being effective. By maintaining a straight spine and using a part of the body as a wedge to resist being folded up, both the stacker and the stacked individual can mitigate the risks associated with the technique.
