Seven Stupid Simple Guard Passes | Jiu-Jitsu Tricks

Don't get me wrong, these passes are all legitimate and extremely useful. However, these are some pretty guaranteed to make the person on the receiving end feel pretty dumb for having fallen for them. Sometimes, though, the simplest route is the one often overlooked, and that's why these are so valuable. Plus these are just really fun and cool to hit, whether in training or competition.

I will now base my entire game off of these stupid passes only

[@micaylapresley]

If you don't have the fundamentals, don't expect to pass people just with these, because these are based off of the fundamentals. The concepts are what make these moves successful, or at least allow you to transition from one of these to a more traditional pass. I used to get the cartwheel pass once in a while, but everyone's wise to it now, so I save it for people who don't know my game and only use it once. lol

[@NicholasHolman1]

^ cartwheel pass is useless against anyone who has any ability to use butterfly hooks dont @me

I tried the last one on my grandpa. His pyjama bottoms tore as he screamed in fright, on being woken like that at 4.37 am. Tonight ill try the "Truck" one on him, he will never expect it after his hip operation. I don't sleep, I wait. Thanks again.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I respect your training ethic 👍

Grandpa and I are thinking of starting our own MMA school. I even have a catchy name Chukkys Den of Carnage. At the end of each session, we're even going to serve little triangle sandwiches. So far Grandpa and I have invented our own Stupid Trick Move. It will be the only move taught at the Den. It goes like this....when you get angry, first take a deep breath and count to 10. Throw a punch at 8. Nobody expects that. OSS!!!

[@aaronreilly7040]

Memorised 3 of these before class today, literally got at least one on every partner I rolled with.. even got the foot step one twice and you’re right they weren’t happy about it 😂😂

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Haha. That’s awesome 🙌

[@neil65394]

The first one will definitely piss off you opponent and start rough fight 😂

[@RubyRubyTV]

I'm a bit of a one-trick pony with my over-under passing, so I've been trying to mix things up during training. I've been doing a rough version of the first one for a few weeks and have been wondering if there was a video out there of it. Glad to see it's real! That last one looks fun as long as nobody gets dropped on their head.

[@joesteiner5051]

"Haha just pass their guard man what are you doing" Me: *Gets punished for doing literally anything*

[@KINDABADATUKULELENGL]

That’s the life of a white belt

[@Raiden4019]

Bruh, we did two of those as part of our weekend class on Sunday! The second one, and the second to last one after we drilled some other guard passes. Without question one of the funnest classes ever. This has only heightened my determination to be the guy who exclusively uses "dumb and silly shit" to win. Because who cares about being good if it ain't fun?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I agree that fun is such an important part of training.

[@tomsawyer7429]

I hit that one from 1:40 this evening! Really chuffed, thank you! I am definitely trying these out on more people, the surprise factor is real! Thank you!

[@tenaciousg808]

As mentioned in previous comments, I kept hitting the very first one on this vid. The shock of wtf just happened on my partners faces were priceless lol. Good stuff 👍🏻

[@daverhoden886]

I appreciate all of your videos, but I've probably watched this one a dozen times. Love it. Thank you!

The second one is one of my favorite pass !! it works so well and you land in knee on belly, which is a great plus for surfing your opponent !

[@timholman86]

I love these, thanks for sharing!

That second guard pass worked for me!!! I'm a white belt and got passed a blue belts guard. He told me that pass was awesome!! Thanks man! Your passes work : )

Finished my 2nd day of fundamental and did my 1st round of rolling. My instinct was to step on the feet but wasn't sure if it was frowned upon. Definitely using it next class

That first one makes me crack up inside every time. I call it the kids class pass because I saw an 8 year old do it and figured I'd give it a shot lol

[@ricardogalindo8794]

Omg! The first 3 worked tonight in my rolling sessions lol! I even did the second one Standing up, while my rolling partner was on the floor mat. The look on their faces were hilarious! 😆 thank you! (3 stripes white belt here! 19 months on! Oss!)

[@DaddyHexler]

That was awesome 👏🏽

[@Nepthu]

This stuff looks so easy when you show it, but I'm baffled while rolling. Can't wait to try this! My problem is my workout buddy has excellent recall on my tricks, so I can't go to the same well too many times.

[@beegie90]

I saw the roll into the kimura and that just screams something I’d do. I’m for sure trying it next time in in the gym.

[@Jamoni1]

These are going to get my elbow tucked into my ear, but worth it.

[@Guywithair2]

Lmao the last one. Gonna try and do this on the black belts

I’m so glad the you tube algorithm gods put this video in my life haha

[@noteven6562]

I've been doing the second pass for weeks now and the only time i cant do it is when theyre in the same stance i am because one knee is up. I'm not sure if my gym mates are realizing that's the way to block it but i'm going to keep doing it everytime by switching sides, it's really funny when I pull it off. A visiting brazilian was like O:

[@natefitz77]

The last one is both awesome and illustrates an extra reason BJJ is hell on the neck. Oh... you're playing a guard? Well how do you like involuntary spontaneous backward roll? Over one shoulder? Lord no, straight overhead.

[@TheSonic1685]

I'm a pure white belt and I successfully pulled off the hopping over legs guard pass in training against a blue belt, it was pretty funny we were both a bit of a laugh about it. But he reminded me not to attempt any flying attacks less I want them done to me and then proceeded to fuck me up haha good times.

That last pass is the jiu jitsu equivalent of bouncing the ball off someone's head really slick in pick up basketball. I can't imagine your opponent won't swing at you

Hahahaha. That's a pretty good analogy.

Hey Eli, awesome vid! I'm wondering if you could give some advice for very a pacifist white belt like me. Since poorly executed techniques can cause injuries to either partner, could you recommend (or even make, pretty please!) what Not to do in specific beginner techniques and drills? One of my greatest fears is causing undue harm to my partner/opponent due to my incompetence. It will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s a tricky topic, but I’ll do my best to address it. Better topic for a video explanation than to try to describe it here. I’ll do my best to put something on video about this though 👍

[@mlxp]

@@KnightJiuJitsu Thanks Eli!

[@cahallo5964]

Don't do jumping moves like the first one, trip your nails and have short hair, apart from that just be careful man. Good luck!

[@droptozro]

Haha I'm the same way. In my first positioned spar on day 1 even within guard I was like... what do I do now? I don't want to really hurt anyone in my ignorance. I had only learned a few techniques my first day about escaping a guard and just outside guard. So when I was in guard I had no goals lol. Thankfully the partner took it easy on me and only locked me up a couple times then showed me what to do.

[@kainthavampire]

@@droptozro my experience today xD I was like "i dont wanna be in his guard, Bad shit happens there". I end up in his guard and be like "okay im dead". Whenever he was in my guard i was like "yeah i got u, but what now?" xD

Pulled off the 2nd one right away against my black belt instructor last night. Worked like a charm and found myself in side control for about half a second.
