In today’s BJJ technique video I share an idea on passing flexible people with the double under pass. The question comes from Rob who is struggling to finish the pass during his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

I give two different options for using the double under pass (sometimes called the double stack pass) on flexible guard players who are able to bend backwards without much issue. The pass starts off in the most basic way that many of you have probably learned and practiced since you were a White Belt.

The 1st one is an option I used successfully recently in competition. The 2nd option is one that changes the pressure up higher on the shoulders and the neck which negates the flexible muscles in their back and hips.

If you’re trying to use this pass in BJJ then I hope it’s helpful to you.

Here’s a more detailed video of how to do the back take I show in the video:

The post Blue Belt Struggling with Guard Passing Against Flexible People in BJJ appeared first on jitseasy.

In today’s BJJ video I’m going to show you a fundamental concept that EVERY guard passer should know and understand. Not some of them, all of them. This basic adjustment was huge when it came to finishing a guard pass and holding side control when I started to focus in on it.

Now it’s simple! Super simple. But understanding the idea of blocking the hip will make your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu much better in regards to holding side control and passing the guard.

Back in the day I didn’t understand this idea and I would often pass the guard and then the person on bottom of guard would immediately regain guard position.

Now you don’t need to drill this thing for hours and hours on end. Simply be mindful of it the next time you begin rolling.

The post Fundamental Adjustment Every Guard Passer in BJJ Should Know appeared first on jitseasy.

In today’s Brazilian Jiu-jitsu technique video I show one of my favorite Butterfly Guard passes. It’s a simple guard pass that requires a bit of positioning and timing to hit properly. This video request came from my fellow bearded BJJ buddy Johnny Buck. You can watch some of our BJJ rolling videos on the channel. He sent it a question calling it a fake move and trolling me just a bit. That’s what friend’s do right?

The key to setting up this particular Butterfly Guard pass is to make sure to put your head in good position so that it forces your opponent slightly back onto their butt and causes them to be easily moved.

From their it’s a simple grip on the shoulder and knee. Again, it’s a super simple move. But if you drill it and build up the timing it becomes super effective. Even if the pass itself fails it will still cause the person to scramble for a Half Guard or possibly a Full Guard.

So if you’re looking for a Butterfly Guard pass. I hope the “Superman Pass” works for you with your BJJ training or competitions.

The post My “Fake Move” Butterfly Guard Pass that Actually Works (Superman Pass) appeared first on jitseasy.

The sufboard pass is one of my favorite BJJ guard passes. It’s a really simple movement. Almost like a technical standup going forward.

The Surf board pass can be unexpected sometimes and it even looks cool. But again, it’s not a complicated move to use. Just requires some drilling to nail down the timing.

In this video I work with a friend I met down in Costa Rica.

I met him and his brother last year during our Pura Vida Brazilian Jiu-jitsu retreat. And they were able to train with us again this year.

During our roll I hit the surfboard pass on him and he asked to see some of the details.

And in the mood of sharing. I figured I’d share some of the details with you guys.

So if you’d like to work on the surfboard pass in Brazilian Jiujitsu. Then enjoy the video and hopefully, even though it’s short, you’ll get a couple of useful nuggets of information to make it more effective.

The post He had 1 Question (Show Me That Beautiful Guard Pass!) appeared first on jitseasy.

What are some options after the Knee Cut Pass in BJJ?

This is the question for today’s Brazilian Jiu-jitsu technique video.

In this video I show some of my favorite options after using the Knee Cut Pass. You might also call this the Cut Through or Knee Slice Pass.

Whatever you call it, it’s a great pass for Brazilian Jiujitsu and is incredibly common.

One thing that will often happen when using the pass is that your opponent will attempt to get up to their side and turn towards you.

In a lot of cases I find my rolling partner or opponent digging for underhooks which is a good option for them.

When this underhook comes that’s when I spring my trap and use some of my favorite options.
A lot of times in this situation I look for my Step Over to the Back. And when working with the black position. At times I’ll abandon the traditional “Position Before Submission” attitude and just dive for a choke submission!

And I’ve found that to be helpful in a lot of situations.

So check out the video and I hope it’s helpful for you!

Talk to you next time!

The post My Favorite Attacks from the BJJ Knee Cut Pass appeared first on jitseasy.

The Butterfly Guard can be a tough position to deal with if you’re a Guard Passer.

In a recent video where I was training with several tough Black Belts. I passed the Butterfly Guard.

In response to this video where I was passing. A lot of you were curious about how to stop the position.

In this video I show how to stop the sweeps and dismantle the Butterfly Guard position by a few specific adjustments.

The 1st being that I need to go to the opposite side that they are attacking. This will kill their position.

Next to hold them in a bad spot. I use my head as a post against their neck. This is a underutilized grip that does a great job of keeping people flat.

Using the head is such an underutilized grip for most people in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

From there I talk about how to pass briefly. While I don’t dive into it too deeply. If you’re able to control position in BJJ. The sweeps, submissions and passes come much easier.

So if you’re struggling to pass butterfly guard in Brazilian Jiujitsu. Try the tips I include in this video to stop the effectiveness of the position.

The post Specific Head Placement to Crush Butterfly Guard in BJJ appeared first on jitseasy.

Recently I posted a video of myself and some tough BJJ Black Belts rolling and training before the No Gi Pans.

There were several techniques used in the video that many of you had questions about.

So I’ll go through and answer the technique related questions you have about the roll.

In this video I cover one of the Guard passing back take combinations I used during the training.

It starts with a Double Under Pass variation and then moves into a rolling back take from the, often called, Truck position from 10th Planet.

You may not call it the Truck, but for the sake of the video, it’s what we’ll use.

I also share the progression of the move and where it came from. As I originally used the Truck position and the rolling back take from other positions like Mount and Turtle first.’

If you were interested in this technique from the previous video, or want a Guard passing back take chain of techniques. Than I hope this video is helpful.

Chew on that.

The post Smooth Guard Pass to Truck Roll in BJJ (Back Take Combo) appeared first on jitseasy.

Have you ever attempted to pass someones Guard, only to get bogged down in the grips of Spider Guard?

This is the problem one of the viewers is running into during his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu training.

So in this video I go over some of the easiest grip breaks for spider guard.

The 1st two grip breaks are stupid simple and the last Spider Guard counter is a fun version. It’s one of my favorites to hit.

The video is not focused on a particular counter or guard pass. But rather on the grips themselves.

If you fight the grips effectively. The Spider Guard is much

So if you’re having trouble getting past Spider Guard in Brazilian Jiujitsu. I hope the techniques in the video helps.

I hope the video helps!

The post 3 Counters to the Spider Guard in BJJ (# 3 is Slick) appeared first on jitseasy.

The Double Under Pass in BJJ (sometimes called a Double Stack Pass) is an awesome option that has a ton of variations.

1 common counter to the Double Under Pass, as well as many others in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, is going to the Turtle position.

By moving to the Turtle position the person is able to avoid points in a points based Brazilian Jiujitsu match. And in a overall dominance situation. Being on top in Turtle is far less dominant than Top of Side Control or Mount.

In this video I answer the question about what to do when someone Turtles after hitting them with the Double Under Pass.

I demonstrate one of my favorite Double Under Pass variations that I use in No Gi when someone is a very “Leggy” guard player Meaning they’re legs are very hard to control.

After the pass I show a way to setup the Back Take following the person going to turtle.

It’s a great way to get to Back Mount and immediately works right into a rear naked choke or similar submission.

If people are going to Turtle on you during training / rolling, competitions or otherwise. Then I hope this Bjj Back Take from the Double Under Pass works for you!

Thanks for watching and remember to subscribe!

Oh and P.S . . . I included some of the rolling from my trip in Costa Rica along with me hitting this technique in a roll.
