A Powerful Philosophy for Guard Passing in BJJ

Gary Berger — Mon, 14 Oct 2024 19:43:54 +0000

Today I’ll answer a question from YouTube about passing guard in Jiu-Jitsu.

They want to know how to pass all the basic guards: butterfly half, butterfly, closed, etc.

Well, obviously I’m in a chair, but I think there’s more benefit to a discussion than just breaking down my favorite pass from each position.

I have several videos on the channel that address specific techniques.

When I read that question It made me think of my own general philosophy of guard passing, which you might or might not find helpful.

That’s what I’ll discuss in this video and more. Hopefully, if you’re struggling to pass the guard in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, then you found these ideas helpful.

Thanks for watching.

This Pass WILL Change Your Game!

Gary Berger — Fri, 04 Nov 2022 16:30:06 +0000

In this video, I go over in my opinion, one of the biggest holes in people’s guard passing games that I think you need to fix. The stack pass is a very uncommon pass that is underutilised by many guard passers but can be very effective against flexible guard players and also has some high percentage back takes from the position.

The Secret to a World Class Side Control

Gary Berger — Sat, 16 Jul 2022 13:00:27 +0000

This video I overview the key aspects of a strong side control. I focus primarily on the key principle of using your chest weight to pin your opponents shoulders to the mat.
