These Concepts Will Completely Change How You Pass The Guard

- These 5 Concepts massively helped my guard passing. There are so many different types of open guard it is difficult to always know what to do in every situation, so having some core principles and concepts can help tremendously for getting through tough situations. The key foundation in passing open guard is getting chest over chest to pass. This video I outline 5 different aspect of passing and methods for accomplishing this goal.

These macro videos are gold. I played with this in sparring, it was a lot of fun. Thanks!
1a) Stay closer when you're passing - reduces the distance for chest to chest, you're essentially closer to the pass.
b) keep your weight over your opponent as you're passing (don't knee cut out to the side)
c) use your chest to consolidate the pass - makes it easier to flatten his shoulders.
2) Keep your legs fairly straight - easier to move around, harder to attack your legs.
3) Strong back/neck posture despite leaning over. Makes a big difference if your opponent gets good grips.
4) Don't insist on one pass - adjust to what they're doing.
5) Control your opponents' legs with more than your hands, especially your forearms (+ your hips and legs for various passes, like the "drop down" that JT is using when he's in DLR)
Exactly! Thanks so much for the recap buddy it’s great to have it shortened and written out like that. Hope you have fun playing with these principles and it helps in your matches.
@@JonThomasBJJ yeah I agree it helps me writing it out and maybe others who see it. This will definitely help me going forward, keep up the good work 🙏

Your content is by far, one of the best around! Beginner, intermediate, to advanced, all your content and instruction is great. I have been training for quite some time and I'm learning from every one of your videos. I've recently began instructing at a small gym and I believe by teaching, it has made me even better. It has forced me to study and understand systems I usually don't use or am not comfortable with. I greatly appreciate all your hard work and the fact you provide all this information for free. Your channel is priceless in my book!
Thanks so much buddy it means a ton! Doing my best to keep the jiu jitsu information high quality and to the point. As I get better at editing and stuff it’s fun too because I can make the videos more entertaining too. Appreciate the support!
This is the style of teaching that really resonates with my learning style. It’s super helpful to learn these foundational concepts so I can be more intentional with my movements. Thank you!
Happy to hear it resonated with you buddy! I will definitely be doing more videos like this soon. Let me know if you have any requests.
The same goes for me! It is super helpful
This is pure GOLD. Thank you Jon, excellent work, and extremely helpful.
no problem happy to help buddy

I love your videos man. They've added very practical technique to my game.

Some really great insights here. Bern training for 20 years and it is so interesting and helpful to hear new takes and ways of explaining things to help improve my own game and my teaching of the position.
As usual, awesome stuff. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Jon.

No problem!!
Super Helpful Details…..Thank-You 🙇🏻
Really timely info. Thank you!
Thanks buddy!
OK your brilliant.....I needed this so bad.....THANK YOU
Great stuff brother
Very helpful tips. Thanks for making the efforts of making this video and sharing this. I’m still learning, newly joined jiujitsu 2 months ago and I’m enjoying it.
Loved this concept video.
Thanks a lot buddy gonna do some new concept stuff soon
Great content much appreciated !!
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy the rest of my content
Very nice..Very specific..find myself in this situation much.
Awesome. I'd love more of these fundamental principles. Definitely helps make sense of the reasoning behind the various systems.
Yeah principles can be really useful to function as a guide or reference tool to help get through a lot of situations.
Thank you!
Always solid content - big thanks for always putting up some of the best BJJ content on youtube!
Thanks so much buddy it means a lot! I will definitely keep putting out content.
You are too good at explaining. The best I have found so far.
You're making some of the best content on the web Jon! Between you're stuff is helpful at the level of Jordan P and Bernardo, thanks so much for the insight!
Great details and content as always!
Thanks buddy I appreciate the support!
Awesome stuff @JonThomasBJJ. Appreciate your content and the application here at GB in Vancouver, BC!
Thanks buddy hoping to visit again sometime next year! Have a nice holiday.
Love the neck detail for posture, thanks Jon !
No problem buddy happy to help!
Great video. I love the focus on macro principals. Anyone can memorize a series of movements but these overarching principals are what make those movements really work.
Yeah for sure, you need both macro and micro they each serve their place.
Great video. I love the concept-based approach. Techniques need context, and the concepts help us see the context.
Thanks buddy, videos like this work great cause they apply to everyone. Specific video on certain situations are much more narrow in who they help.
This is brilliant! I've just started and open guard is really tough to get through. Thank you! Subscribed! You're movements are really smooth and you explain it really well!
Thanks a lot! Open guard is for sure extremely complicated to deal with.
Wonderful artistry!
Thank you for the details
Thanks a lot been working hard at updating the quality of editing
Hugely helpful! Something I took note of this week in class was that I was able to get past my training partner's legs most of the time, but often wasn't able to consolidate the position or finish the pass. I think I was often rounded in the thoracic spine and not focusing on getting chest to chest in side control.
Yeah the neck positioning affected so many things, as well as making your primary focus to always get chest over chest.
Thanks much! Good content and detail.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate it!
Those posture and chest to chest details are gold. Perfect timing for me. Thank you!
Thanks buddy! You the string neck positioning and straight legs combined with the chest over chest concept is extremely powerful.
Great video! Might be one of the best.
I’d like to see videos like this in all positions.
I would also like to hear about competition mindset, in tournaments and in the gym.
Thanks for the video!
Thanks buddy! As I get better at the video editing stuff it’s becoming more fun and I feel I can communicate my ideas better.
These are some amazing tips Jon. Been training for 7 years and realise through this video how little thought I put into guard passing positioning. Can't wait for te gyms to open again and start applying this! Oss
Hope they open soon for you there buddy, so frustrating when you have ideas you want to work on and can’t do it. This is a really fun concept to play with.
Awesome video!
Great vid. Concepts are easier to recall than “moves” are and provide more bang for the buck!
I still remember a coach saying “BJJ is a very PROUD sport (so keep your chest out and head up, etc!) Great advice.
Awesome video! thanks!
Thanks so much! Happy you enjoyed it!
Very helpful. Thank you.
No problem happy to help
Great video. 👍. Extremely well explained and demonstrated
Thanks so much buddy! Trying to improve the quality more and more
Nice!!! I cant wait to give these a shot in the gym. Im definitelt guilty of conceding too much distance. Thanks Jon.
no problem hope it helps in training
Another great video. Thank you.
Thanks so much buddy!
Amazing details. Thank you.
Thanks a lot buddy!
Black belt to black belt - if ever in San Diego, CA, you always have a place to train. Thanks again for the killer content you keep putting out.
This was very helpful, can't wait to try these out when we go live!
Thanks buddy! Hope it helps you in your next training!
Thanks again for the A1 content. Hope you have a great weekend!
No problem buddy doing my best to be more consistent
Like the concepts VS a particular skill!
Thanks for the tips, Jon.
No problem buddy, hope the details help!
@@JonThomasBJJ I am sure it will.
Absolutely great material. Subscriber!
brother, love these! the straight leg position makes so much sense when you talk about it making the DLR hook harder to get. Oss
Yeah the straight leg positioning when entering helps tremendously!
This mental/gaming out approach to BJJ is what was needed! Solid.
Thanks buddy trying to give good specific details but also useful broad principles
Just discovered your channel. One of the best channels I’ve seen for beginner/intermediate players I’ve ever seen.
I’m blue belt and your content is giving me a lot of “ah ha!” moments.
Thanks a lot buddy really happy to hear the content is making a difference. Hope you enjoy some of the older videos I made as well
Such an importent vidio Thanks!
Thank you so much professor. Ive not been the worse student, still just a blue belt but passing guard at white belt until your video. Thank you
Well hopefully this helps take your passing up to the next level! Thanks buddy!
Awesome stuff
Amazing content, thank you !
No problem buddy happy you like the content, and appreciate the support!
Good stuff thank you
The forearm approach made sense, hopefully I'll be able to use it on open matt today. Just sub to ur channel jon
Fantastic video
Really appreciate your higher order thinking... very valuable!
No problem buddy, really happy you see the value in it!
Thanks for this great tip. I’m going to try this. It seems to make sense. But obviously works as you said
Yeah some of the most useful things are simple and obvious but difficult to realize the first time.
Chin in and thoracic posture, I know that I do exactly what you say not to do and get my posture broken all the time. Thanks for the tip, great detail!
Yeah I would even add pulling your shoulder blades back a bit I think it gives you an even strong positioning.
Great video👍
Excellent video, sir.
Thanks so ouch buddy
BRO. I haven’t trained in about a year but this is lightbulb shit. GREAT VID!. Gold bro all 3 concepts.
Very technical and simple to learn
Very nice!!
Thanks!!
Thanks very much for this, so much knowledge in 11:46 mins!
Brilliant video
Thanks a lot!!
A lot of helpful information in this video! Thanks for sharing. Oss
Thanks happy you liked it, hope it helps you on the mat.
You are a gift to Jiu-Jitsu. Thank you for such high quality content.
Thanks so much buddy! Happy to hear it!
Hi Jon… great videos and by far my favourite content. Can we have some more beginner videos.
Great video
Thank you🍍
No problem happy to help
Mto bom. Grato pelas dicas.
Completely unrelated to jiu jitsu, this video has great audio. As a mixing engineer, I often see videos that are incredibly informative but sound like crap (given, most people just want to technique and don’t really care about the audio). However, this certainly improves your production quality and makes it easy on the ears to watch video after video. Keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot buddy trying to take all aspects of the production process high quality! Really appreciate the comment and letting me know.
This is GOLD
I WISH you were my coach bro! You transformed my guard passing with simple concepts.
In everything in life concepts understanding WHY you are doing something is infinitely better than Do X when Y happens
Yeah for sure understanding the bigger picture helps tremendously, specific knowledge helps a ton too as sometimes its hard to always apply the principle to find a solution. So you need both principles and broad concepts and specific detailed information.
JonThomasBJJ > BJJFanatics all day, and twice on Sunday! Concepts and technique that you see at the highest levels. Great stuff Professor!
Thanks a ton buddy! I’m just trying to keep the quality of content high and trusting that in time it will eventually take off. Appreciate the support
Amazing
