The 4 Core Principles of Guard Passing BJJ

In this video, I break down the components of guard passing into 4 stages. It's always super helpful to look at the broad concept what you are trying to accomplish in Jiu Jitsu so I also go into detail of how to practically apply these components to you game.

Do you do any no gi? I love the depth you explain things, and would be interested in some no gi specific techniques

Definitely like this format of videos, it allows me to see the different guard passes from a whole new perspective!

[brentonrose]

Thanks Jon. These concept videos are very helpful for me. Techniques are great but sometimes you need some broad ideas of what to do if your go to technique doesn’t work.

I like this style of video that just hits the basics. I also like the more in depth videos that have example rolls. Having both is really nice.

Perfect timing. Passing is what I'm going to be working on this next week, and these concise approaches will provide me with a clear reference point. Thank you.

[SoyChemist]

I love the broad conceptual video, and would love to see an even higher level video sort of laying out the game of jiu jitsu for a total beginner, sequentially from the beginning of a roll to submission.

[rickkerr]

At 1:25 when you say if he turns away you don't get the pass, do you mean you don't get pass points, or you haven't conceptually "passed", or both?

[sethschiele]

holy crap stand above and wait for them to grab something then drop. YEESSSS
