Mark Plavcan of Madison Jiu Jitsu and Twisted Fitness shows a great 1/2 guard pass when the bottom guy is able to get the underhook.

  • In a couple of your videos you use that 'chinstrap' technique. What is stopping your opponent from just wrapping around the top of your neck and sweeping you?

  • Nice! I have been having problems passing from this position for a long time. I will try this next training session. Thanks

  • @1lostinspace

    Lol, also been training that long and I guess great minds think alike, huh? :-)

  • @jeremyjitzu

    Thanks Jeremy, If your opponent is locked down, you will have to free the foot first before attempting this pass. We usually do this by using the "free" foot to help strip the "locked" foot and then hide the now unlocked foot by tucking it under your hips when it is free. Some guys really prefer lock down, but many guys who have a strong half guard may not use it so that they may more easily transition to other half guards...deep half, etc.

  • or to make a long story short put your leg on his thigh and push away and pass to what ever position u want

  • I hear a lot about putting weight on your opponent but I don't see many MMA fighters "on their toes," not even those with wrestling backgrounds. Is there a reason for that?

  • I have been doing bjj for 15 years and thought I had made this pass up, oh well I guess what works for me works for others, this is my favorite and highest percentage pass.

  • nice but its the left arm has a small posibility to be chicken wing by a strong opp

  • Nice but i will have to try it out. You partner doesnt have you locked down tho. He plays alittle open then norm. Thanks tho.....

  • Nice. Thanks for sharing.
