Is The Over-Under Pass The Best Pass in Judo And Jiu-Jitsu?

The Over-Under Pass: one of the most popular ways of passing the guard in judo newaza, the over-under is also used to great effect in jiu-jitsu. In the judo world, Olympian Jimmy Pedro focused a great deal of his newaza work on this pass, and jiu-jitsu world champion Bernardo Faria (and many others) have made a career on using it to get past the guard. When done right, it quickly connects you to your partners hips and gets you close to the knee and hip line - all of which make it more difficult to use flexibility to defend the guard AND to turtle up (very common in judo). Today we look at one detail that's often missing from the over-under and how we can make this strong pass even stronger.

I’ve been having great success passing with the over/under, but find it hard to employ it or even not get submitted against kimura specialists. A tutorial by Brian on early/late escapes against the kimura counter to the over/under pass would be so greatly appreciated 😊

[@admiralsuperior3]

Second

[@MrAntinexus]

Especially nogi

[@artnos]

dont put your head to the side till you get his leg extended and your arm extended away from the kimura. Start with your head on his chest as you are setting up that arm. laclan giles has a good video on it

[@Koko161081]

@@artnos Interesting, I'll look into it, thanks!

[@stringkiller550]

wanted to learn over under long time ago! awesome instruction.

[@hotsauce0606]

Fantastic detail in the instruction. I gotta try this out

[@bzglick]

Appreciate it - thank you!

[@25davidhenry]

Excellent break down of this pass! Thank you

[@bzglick]

Glad it was helpful!

[@xMarcxAndrex]

Great video, love the channel. I wish I bought that SYR gi when it came out.. the colour scheme is very nice.

[@user-ho8er3dg8i]

Hey Brian. I have a theory about why Bernardo Faria was so successful with his over under pass. He preferred to pass right instead of left. Since 99% of passer prefer to go left, I always imagined that this gave him a measureable advantage. What do you think?

[@bzglick]

I agree - that was certainly a contributing factor. But his mechanics and control from that position were (are) also tremendous. When you’re that good at controlling the hips and have a small set of very effective answers to common responses, you’ve got a winning formula 😉

[@zacharywong483]

Excellent video, as always!

[@bzglick]

Appreciate it - thank you!

[@JGArts]

Love the new way to do this pass... it's been my favorite or a very long time

[@bzglick]

💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@jvillanueva215]

I'd say it's the most versatile

[@admiralsuperior3]

Great video

[@bzglick]

🙏🏼

[@mrdelacroix]

This is really good technique and great pass, but be careful on 8:40, people can pull the belt with the far arm to sweep the person on top over the head, I do it often no matter how big the person on top is

[@xMarcxAndrex]

How do you deal when they push on your head to prevent you bringing your chin to their hip?

[@aleksandervaldal]

Drive with your legs, tripod

[@user-ho8er3dg8i]

I have a second question. Sometimes I get swept to the non-passing side. This has happened two or three times and is done by black belts. They grab my gi pants and flip me over. Is it because I'm too parallel to their hips? Or because my knees should be bent more? Or that I should be shifting my hips to the left? Hopefully you can visualize my question. Thanks.

[@prideneverdies1001]

Brian don't you think that a good argument against the over-under for older athletes is that to defend people generally push your head and you may end up accumulating some sort of neck issues along the way?

[@MichaelJames707]

🙏🏼

[@svatandoost]

Is this the past that Travis Stevens did in the Olympics?

[@bzglick]

Probably - one of his favorites

[@MMAGUY13]

some people when I’m doing the under overpass they push my head to the side I’m trying to pass with and I can’t stop it. Do you have any advice how to stop this?

[@samuelemeryjiujitsu]

Is there such a thing as a pass in judo?

[@bzglick]

Yes - most commonly from half guard
