The 5 Main Toreando Guard Pass Variations

[@Qwerty8139]

This is absolutely the best video on this pass. There are so many 20 minute videos that only show one variation!

[@chcknpie04]

This pass is like throwing a jab: low risk, high reward, it puts the opponent on the defense and creates openings for pretty much every other pass. For me, the Leandro variation in the gi and the Danaher variation (#5) in no gi are my favorites. Thanks for the video!

Awesome video, thank you so much! I literally started Jiu Jitsu 1 month ago, and this is the first guard pass I've been drilling. I didn't understand why I was drilling it (then again, I don't understand much of what's going on haha, I'm definitely drinking from a firehose), but your explanations and the detailing you provided have cleared things up a ton. Huge fan of your explanations and channel overall. I can't wait for the lifelong journey of learning; it's a blast so far.

Still at it?

I was wondering why everyone was calling X-Pass "Toreando" over the years and this was a great little history. Thank you!

[@chcknpie04]

X Pass is similar, but distinct in the footwork. With an X pass, you step in between their legs like you’re going for a knee cut, and when they react to stop it, you donkey kick that leg back (or pummel it over the top) as you push their legs by.

#3 and #5 are the 95% of my passes. Works like a charm against most people i roll with

As always, thank you Stephan! I learn a lot from you.

[@medicineandbrazilianjiujit8511]

Hope your hip is ok.

@@medicineandbrazilianjiujit8511 it’s doing really, really well thanks. Can’t feel any difference at all between the hips now (3 months post surgery)

[@medicineandbrazilianjiujit8511]

You're very welcome my fren

Thank you Guru

[@khalid-kz5nn]

I’m a beginner and this is my best pass

[@StephanKesting]

It's just nice when something that works for beginners ALSO works at the highest levels. Check out some Leandro Log guard passing highlight videos to see him use it again, and again, and again.

This is really similar to the Gordon Ryan gi passing series.
