How to Pass The Open Guard: Complete Guide 2022

Passing the open guard is one of the most difficult and frustrating things in BJJ. This video I show a basic system that can be used at every level. I focus on the principles of threatening passing the open guard before your opponent establishes grips. I discuss a game plan for how to approach every main position your opponent can be in.

This is the best tutorial ever! I struggle to pass open guard because most of the time I just don't know what to do. You put it simple and conceptual, instead of focusing on what to do, you explain why and how, which is extremely useful and easier to understand!!!! Thank you so much I'll start drilling more :)

Amazing tutorial! Tomorrow is going to be an absolute banger of a disappointment when I'll try all this and get sweep as usual :) but I will succeed in the end! thanks very much for all your hard work, your pedagogy is superb!

How has this not got more views and comments? concise descriptions, absolutely game changing for me.
You have such a great teaching style.

That chest over chest tip is gold. I see that that is probably the reason I don't quite pass guard enough. That and that I don't go to class enough!

Gold. You do a great job of simplifying it and making it understandable.

I'm pretty new to BJJ, so I may not be able to pull off some of these against more experienced grapplers, but the concepts you present here have already been helpful in getting a little bit closer. Great advice!

Amazingly articulated loving your vids 👊

[philpoma]

Thanks Jon, great details and instruction as always! For future passing videos, I’d like to see how you deal with different scenarios, like an opponent who has gotten underneath you (e.g. half guard with deep underhook) or elevated you (e.g. butterfly guard). Thank you!
