Cut Through Pass is Killing my Half Guard (2 Counters / Defenses)

Do you have trouble with the Cut Through pass when you play Half Guard in BJJ?
The Cut Through, Knee Slide, whatever name you like to call it, is one of the nastiest passes for a Half Guard player to run into.
In this video I add onto my Brazilian Jiujitsu Half Guard series which has focused mainly on the outside hook / old school position.
One of our buddies, Jesse, said that when he is in his Brazilian Jiu-jitsu gym rolling. He experiences a lot of trouble with the Cut Through pass.
So in this video I give 2 ways to deal with the cut through pass and how to reset the Half Guard position or go to Full Guard.
They're simple options I use as a defense to the guard pass but they've helped me so much in rolling and BJJ competitions.
I hope they're helpful to you!

I was looking all over KZbin for an answer to this question and of course I found it at the very place that produces all the bjj videos I watch lol

[@ateisco]

I've watched dozens of complicated solutions to the knee cut pass...many good ones, but I love the simple suggestion about coming up on your elbow. Thanks for adding that!

[@TheRealMrLucas]

chad with the shut down head shake was gold. Great video as always Chewie!

[@dapurplesmurf]

Dude, I don't know why I never thought of the reguard. Thanks Chewy, and that gi is slick.

[@homeswithjp]

Wow. I watch your channel a lot. I play half guard and the knee slice just wrecks it. Today I used the technical get up to reset. Mind blown 🤯

[@amirkazemi2517]

[@jesse799]

[@Nabil1976]

[@chadmorse7318]

Good stuff coach

[@ippolea]

Awesome, i need to practice this.

[@delete536]

Chewy! I just started jiu-jitsu 2weeks ago and I am loving it. Your videos are also such good help. I was watching the video about if new white belts should go in to competition and you said yes if you have at least one move in every position. My question to you could you please put a video together of what you think the best ones would be? So maybe a good lay out of a battle plan? Thanks chewy keep up the fantastic work

[@sgloobal2025]

What belt are you now?

[@delete536]

@@sgloobal2025 Got my blue belt 2.5 years ago. I have only been training once a week for the last year becuase family commitments so it's going to be a long road to purple but I'm ok with that

[@enigmad4968]

[@maliquewilliams86]

[@Tearfree709]

[@bjorn1409]

Hey, what if the top person takes the underhook with his right arm?

[@88binis88]

This coach is just fuckin amazing and very helpful!

[@WilliamSung86]

Can someone link me the "old school half gaurd in this series" he is talking about? I've been looking through his videos but I cannot find it 😭.

[@batmanwayne4977]

Is the audio gone in this video?

[@jlguzman7810]

Man I could have used this last week at Nationals lost 3-2 :( bcuz he passed my half guard with this pass lol

[@matiasalarcon4182]

Chewy when I get to side mount (on top) the other person hugs me and I cant do anything, do you have any tips on that?

[@Chewjitsu]

For sure! That's a gift to you!

[@matiasalarcon4182]

Really?! 😂😂 i just get stuck in there😂

[@rollinOnCode]

that little bit about gettin up is basically a turkish get up

[@killerpiggu]

How do you get the foot out to pass when they have it clamped in their half guard like that?

[@ptmarkoviitanen]

You can either shoot it through more outwards, rather than towards opponents armpit. If that doesn't work either, you can "Donkey kick" his upper leg with your other leg. That is a "Legal kick".

[@jokerhaha83]

Use your other foot to help open up the grip, but make sure you have a good base.

[@LukeNichols01]

Hey Chewy, I’m a 25 year old white belt that’s been training for about eight months in Vietnam, and I have a question about developing greater control during rolling, and generally learning to be less spazzy. I’m not very new anymore, and I started training for tournaments a few months ago. However, I injured my knee while preparing for my first tournament, had to drop out, and just recently returned to the mats. During my first week back, there was an accident where a training partner passed my guard and rotated me around, but when she came around to get side control my elbow smashed her lip and she needed stitches. Now, I feel awful about this for a number of reasons, but without going into all of that, I’d like to ask your advice on how to develop better control and reduce spazziness. Normally people would suggest flow rolling, but my question is more concerned with full speed rolling and competition prep kind of rolls. I’ve never really had any mishaps while flow rolling, but I’ve just had a problem with spazziness when the speed gets turned up. The accident happened for a number of reasons, and whether or not all of them were my fault or if it was just one of those “accidents happen” moments, I still bear the ultimate responsibility for my body and the safety of my training partners. Apologies for the long winded post, and if you’ve actually addressed a question like this in the past, could you please just reply with the link?

[@iiiAmVth]

Luke Nichols just don't go so try hard. Allow yourself to be put in uncomfortable situations while rolling (letting them take a dominant position pretty much) and learn to escape. Focus on defence first then your offence will come into play in later belts

[@66Chapa]

Do you ever use shin on shin for these purposes?

[@Chewjitsu]

You can, I love shin to shin.

[@richielavey1565]

Z guard ftw!!
