This is one of my favorite Guard Passes in BJJ. And I’ve called in the Surfboard pass since I learned it.

What’s great about this pass is the functionality of it mixed with the appearance of being “fancy” or advanced.

When in fact, there’s not advanced or fancy about it. . .

It’s literally a technical standup / stand up and base mixed with a forward push to clear the legs.

This move came about because recently I posted a video of me and my students rolling.

And at some point in the video I hit the Surfboard pass against my student’s Butterfly Guard. And I received lots of questions asking what exactly the pass was.

As I said, this is one of my favorite Brazilian Jiujitsu guard passes to throw into the mix against an opponent’s Butterfly Guard.

So if you’re looking for a cool Guard pass technique to add into your Brazilian Jiu-jitsu game then I hope this move is useful for you!

In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu there are certain parts of training which require a good deal of conscious effort.

A couple of these aspects of training are drilling and getting in reps, and changing the stories we tell about ourselves on the mat.

We often accept certain traits we have as an almost permanent condition.

Like the question I received from the person in the video. Which is he thinks he gets his Guard passed easily during rolling. And approaches his training with that mentality.

Changing your mindset for BJJ is tough. Because you are often fighting your inner critic which has a propensity to pop up during difficult times on the mat.

As I describe in the video. I had a lot of difficulty not getting my Guard passed as well. And one of the biggest things that helped me over come this issue was changing my mindset.

Along with that, forcing myself to play from the positions that bothered me the most. So I have more time in the position to work.

So if you’re experiencing any trouble with any position. Here is what I would advise you to do.

1. Drill techniques from the BJJ position that is frustrating.

2. Change your mindset with the position. Positive self talk is powerful and will help make the reality you seek happen.

3. Work from that area. Conquer the frustration or fear by moving towards it.

Remember, the beautiful part about BJJ is that your skills and abilities are not permanent. They’re always growing and shifting.

And you have a hand in this!

If you’d ever like to train with the team and I. Check out my gym Derby City MMA in Louisville,KY.

Today’s question is about having a garbage top game in BJJ. In the question he says he is decent at guard passing but is unable to maintain top position.

So in this video I share a couple of tips on developing better top pressure and positioning from top.

The 1st tip is about changing your mindset with the BJJ techniques that you’re trying to execute.

In Brazilian Jiu-jitsu if you’re comfortable with a particular position like Guard or fighting from the back.

You may find that you will give up top position because you’re perfectly fine with dropping back to Guard to work from bottom.

If this is the cause. You will have to approach your rolls during a Brazilian Jiujitsu practice with a different mindset. A mindset of being a tough top player who doesn’t give up top position.

The second part of the video gives a couple of basic tips and principles from Side Control on putting yourself into a heavy and properly aligned angle on top.

Things like blocking the hip in side control, not crossing the centerline of the person’s body and keeping your hips tight will all help in developing a strong top position.

If you’re someone having a similar issue as stated in the video. I hope this video helps!

This is from a camp I ran for the BJJ Amsterdam Academy leading into the 2018 European Championships. I’m teaching a passing position I use a lot, as it keeps you safe from attack, and gives you a hub to launch your own pass attempts from.
