About Passing techniques
Guard passing is one of the most important skills in BJJ, representing the ability to move past your opponent's legs and establish a dominant top position. Effective passing requires a combination of pressure, timing, grip fighting, and strategic movement. Whether using pressure passing, speed passing, or a combination of both, mastering various passing techniques against different guard styles—closed guard, open guard, half guard, and modern guards—is essential for anyone wanting to develop a strong top game.
Understanding passing techniques is essential for developing a well-rounded Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu game. Whether you're training for self-defense, competition, or personal growth, mastering these techniques will improve your overall grappling ability and strategic understanding of positional dynamics.
