Use This Grip To Pass Anyones Guard - Keenanonline.com

A hyper effective grip I have been using in all my recent competitions, this video is part of a 6 part seminar I taught on dealing with tough guards. the rest can be found on keenanonline.com/

[@BJJandFriends]

The talk about being on top was great. Also, the comment about two equal opponents, and the one passing always having the advantage was music to my ears. I will quote you to my students. Since most don’t want to believe me when I tell them that. Great video. Thanks you.

[@herculesrockefeller4584]

The best part of this video comes as 03:26 with that step back instead of trying to slide that knee through. I always have a tough time getting caught there. Crazy how it’s something so simple and it’s never crossed my mind. Thank you for the video.

[@Projectlinkme]

Yes! I saw that too! I have been trying to slide it through or step back as a combination, get my opponent to respond to sliding it through, then step back and walk around for the pass!

[@timslaterus6937]

100% this

[@davidpenn1123]

Saw a few folks using this pass at the Worlds this year. Thanks for the breakdown!

[@OldManPaxusYT]

Not only is it amazing that you're teaching (i mean seriously, think about it, there must be many amazing practitioners out there who just don't teach!....) but you're giving it to US out there in the INTER-WEBS! I'm in AUSTRALIA! + I can't afford BJJ at the moment... So thanks to ppl like you, i can still be learning! *_THANK YOU!_*

[@msdunkel]

Thanks, great video. I liked hearing "position before submission" and your discussion around "top is winning". 47 year old white belt here, been training 4 months. With my wrestling background I've been experimenting with guard (which of course I'll keep working on) but I've noticed a definite increase in getting completely smashed vs. when I just go to my bread and butter and shoot for side control. I can't wait to put this technique to the test.

[@mattwells1036]

I liked hearing that as well, coming from a wrestling background

[@noob2649]

How are you doing 3 years after your comment? Progressed like you would’ve hoped?

[@msdunkel]

@@noob2649 Entered Atlanta Open last weekend and took double gold and weighed-in at the light weight limit. Doing Pans next month in what I hope will be my last tournament as a blue belt. I've had 2 surgeries -- neck and bicep -- but still going strong. Thanks for checking.

[@noob2649]

@@msdunkel dang your tough as nails dude. To be going through surgeries and still placing gold. I aspire to be as cool as you. I’m much younger than you. 17 actually but I’m not nearly as tough as you. Congratulations on your hard work

[@kylieminou7775]

"no matter how you look at it, when you are in the bottom you are already losing", right there, so true I will print it in a rashguard😸💝

[@vibe808]

Your explanation of sport jiujitsu was so straight forward Awesome

[@TakedownBreakdown]

Great job Keenan. I pass in a similar fashion, but I am looking foreward to trying out this variation. Also, my big take away was removing grips first. It is simple, but I never really thought about it. Thanks again for the great information 👍

[@brianbmf86]

Tried this today and it worked very well!

[@Sheehan3b48]

Love it. Keenan has such an insightful approach.

[@alexdavis3641]

I used this pass last night and it worked every time... super simple. Thanks KC

[@AlLuke]

Oss! Please make a plan to come to Cape Town, South Africa for a seminar one day!

[@jacobberg4007]

A really keen(an) technique 👍

[@TheArtofGuitar]

I wonder if saying place your knee on the “inside” of your hand would make more sense.

[@DoctorYianni]

Agreed

[@OnlyFun_jordan]

As I was re watching it for the 100th time I was like “let me check the comments to see if im missing something ! “ thank you for this comment lol

[@anthonyquinn9082]

Exactly. That confused the hell out of me

[@slavicvolk]

4:44 cross grip pass 7:40 9:44 repeat

[@mason2376]

I love combining the cross pants grip and collar grip with shin to shin passing. Puts them on their hip so it's hard to square up their guard.

[@adriansalas8424]

Some of the best bjj instructions!

[@koslim]

what a nice guy keennan is...

[@ActionRan]

idk man.. he seems like a cheater wearing highly illegal 3/4 pants

[@RandomBJJGuy]

@@ActionRan if that's why you think he's a top jj guy, then maybe you should train more

[@kitman]

@@ActionRan it's just the hyperfly gis shrink like hell....

[@jesseascriven]

Keenan is as good a teacher as he is a practitioner!

[@Killahbeez79]

always learn a lot from your videos! you`re a beast!

[@Toddbarcey]

Damn, that's good. A new favorite to learn right there baby!

[@genarohernandezjr.6589]

Keenan talks about the importance and practicality of linking guard passes. That it's the second or third pass that will work. Does anyone know what other guard passes combine well with this one?

[@Pearlygatesbouncer]

I was hooked until north south, see ya haha

[@MartinLopez-fc8tt]

Excelente tutorial, un genio este Keenan!!!!

[@That1CommentGuy]

The issue I ran into using this technique is when the framing arm grabs the gi lapel and effectively kept me from driving in.

[@rafaelgomes1838]

Where is your Jiu-Jitsu Gym Kenan Cornelius? I am from Brazil... Very Good this video...

[@Unclesonali]

This is good stuff sir!Thank you. Keenen made his self a new student.

[@lawdog81]

Technique starts at 4:44

[@conor-_C]

What if you can't get grips on the legs

[@jitsmapper4438]

How can defense?

[@BJJandBS]

I tried this today and I could not pass Alexs guard. He beats everyone in the school though so I guess I can't feel too bad.

[@maytronix7201]

I'm new so forgive my ignorance...but I would love it if these videos started with a demonstration...(or 2 or 3)...before the explanation...

[@2008israelramos]

How do you stop this? People in class are doing this and it's super hard to keep your guard.

[@brian4479]

I like this guy

[@Forbidden.s3]

I wish they had this answer for no gi

[@ypahub01]

Would it be viable to try and practice the same technique with no gi but instead of using the gi for grip you would instead use grip strength and speed to compensate?

[@allenmadplume7680]

Maybe a C grip with fingers on top of the shin, I'm going to look into that.

[@dmustakasjr]

If they successfully defend (or rather are successfully defending actively) is there a transition to "another pass" such as moving your pant grip to under your opponents left leg to transition to over under?

[@chestersing]

Keenan, thank you. I find this pass similar to Frazatto's long step. The grips are similar and the idea is the same - move around the opponents legs while pinning them with your head. Anyway, do you use frazatto's long step pass and, if you do, under what scenario would you pick that over this?

[@wylian84]

Any chance you are in danger of being armdragged?

[@markhenderson3771]

Very clear. Thx.

[@inptnabil]

how to counter this pass?

[@Papsmeass]

Coming on top is important...

[@irbadltald2532]

Awesome thanks!

[@Dwillztx]

Is that finger tape the guy on bottom has? if not what is it?

[@memocruz666]

Devonte Wilson - yes, it's athletic tape to protect your joints.

[@poliscience]

I tried but ended crushing my own wrist holding the leg down. Anyone any advice? Maybe my arm is not long enough :(

[@Projectlinkme]

It's about the angle that you're using to apply the pressure, you keep the opponent at the angle where he is lying with your shin pressure and collar grip. The goal of your grip is not to keep the knee down into the mat, but more about keeping the knee down, as in making sure it cannot come back up and towards the space between you and your opponent, this keeps him from being able to replace the guard. So - collar grip and shin on their thigh to immobilize the opponent, pants grip to defend against the knee coming up and replacing the guard.

[@MrPonsrock]

Good job sir

[@cheesegrater8011]

What of they fight off the collar grip? Is it better to back out and try a different pass or look for another grip?

[@Projectlinkme]

Knee cut pass, baseball slide while looking for the underhook on the far side.... but if they're fighting the collar grip, then more than likely you have already passed their guard by killing the hips and you're in north south already and the collar grip has already served its purpose.

[@mrj5202]

Its all about coming when on top.

[@YesitisDex]

Mr J heheh

[@kdbdw28]

Love this.

What academy was this at?

[@zoidberger1652]

Thanks

[@PaoloCaglioLMT]

I saw him passing Xande’s guard with that grip the other day at the World’s final and winning the title... then I woke up.

[@tobiassantos6572]

Nao tem legenda em português 😥

[@ampark09]

What gi is Keenan wearing?

[@chadsiemens2429]

ampark09 judo fly gi by hyperfly

[@anthonybacy]

Can you put head under his chin then pass

[@fritzdagger]

yes absolutely, However I find they can use their hand to push it off. if i go on the should it pins them in the same way and i can keep it there.

[@kalenz100]

It seems like by doing this guard pass you expose your back, is that a risk and if it is, can we avoid that?

[@matu-cg4cw]

I'm not sure why you're feeling the back is exposed. You're pushing into their top shoulder with your head and pulling on their bottom lapel... there is no way they should be able to sit-up. As you are doing that your hips are elevated (in order to put as much pressure and have mobility) and you're circling around them. Unless you seriously mess up there is pretty much 0% chance they get your back. At best they'll try to frame and escape.

[@Projectlinkme]

You're avoiding the back take by pinning their leg with your shin which kills the hips. Also, the collar grip kills their mobility. This saves your back. often, if things go bad from this position, I look for an underhook on the top to flatten the opponent and stay on top and keep my back safe.

[@adriansrfr]

Surprisingly little talk about the grip.

[@koolkonacat]

I feel like I'm more dangerous from guard

[@carzoparazzo9698]

you should train always thinking on "street mind", its not good to stay on guard

[@elliotmoore3082]

How are there white belts with shoyorolls on??

[@jackota6239]

Elliot Moore their so over priced

[@spfdff]

They are white belts, not homeless people. I think if you’ve been training for a year and a half or more, you may certainly invest more into what you like. I myself have shoyorolls in my collection, but I’d never wear em till I was a blue belt. That’s simply my preference... others may do as they please

[@HussarsJacket]

These videos are interesting, although I wish the titles weren't such click-bait. :(

[@fritzdagger]

HussarsJacket oh because title totally mislead you right? To the video you just found interesting? You enjoyed he video but the title ruined it for you!? Huh!!!! Is that it!?!

[@HussarsJacket]

How's it going, Mr. Cornelius. Congrats on your recent stellar performances at No-Gi Worlds. I wouldn't say the title is misleading or ruined the video for me. I would simple say it is not a very tasteful or classy title. Compare the title of this video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4nKq6lojN5sha8) "Rear Naked Choke: Common Choke, Uncommon Details (No-Gi)" with "CHOKE OUT EVERYONE IN THE WORLD WITH THIS INCREDIBLY EASY CHOKE". That's all. I mean, I'm a big fan and love your channel, make no mistake.

[@JiuJitsuHouse]

You don’t feel you can get your back taken easier this way ?

[@LordTreyHowdy]

The collar grip and the tripod positioning prevent this.

[@chrisrob7276]

Your knee is on the INSIDE of your arm not outside

[@Caticua]

Chris Rob when he’s saying outside he’s talking in relation to his opponents legs not his own.

[@33iknow]

Me likey!

[@robertcrier3551]

I watched every minute of the video, everything he says is critical and important, if your just looking for the movement and not taking consideration of any other potential methods through his speaking, then you are probably not the most effective when you ignore your sansei. Everything your sansei says is important, you wouldn’t read a book and skip chapters would you? If you do, you might miss out on the most effective and critical information. Im tired of seeing guys show up at the gym looking to hurt someone, instead of learning the technique and listening to your teacher about potential techniques that you will have in combination with your moves. Disrespectful in my opinion, and jiu jitsu should be a respectful sport when you are a competitor.
