Some systems and positions in #jiujitsu are truly timeless, as @lovatojrbjj mentions—cross leg/pants passing is one of them. Widely used in the ’90s and still highly effective today, this passing system has evolved with even more refined variations.

Dealing with this style of passing is no easy task, especially against an experienced passer with strong pressure. The earlier you recognize and address the pass, the higher your chances of successfully defending it.

In this video from our 10 AM advanced class at @gdjiujitsuacademy , I break down a specific scenario for defending this pass and share a competition clip to illustrate it in action.

You’ve heard me talk about the connection between Positional Awareness & Reaction Speed, and in this footage, @rolando_samson showcases world-class timing in executing this transition.

I hope this helps! Share it with someone who could benefit from these details.

Today’s video is going to be a little bit longer, but it’ll be worth it if you’re struggling with your Guard Retention.

A message came in from a viewer named Collin who says his guard retention sucks, it gets shredded, and he wants some tips to get better at this area of his BJJ.

With that being said, as a guy who came to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from Wrestling, I’ll give you a couple reason my guard retention sucked at first and then give you some of the solutions I’ve found in my Jiu-Jitsu journey.

I’ll give you 8 different tips in this video, in no order of importance.

Hopefully, if you’re struggling with your guard retention like Collin, then you found this video helpful.

Thanks for watching.
