Top Half Guard to Mount Pass (High Percentage) | Prof. Rafaello Oliveira | Houzn BJJ 365

From Houzn Jiu Jitsu Academy

October 28, 2026

Day #250 - From Top Half, most people settle for pressure and hope. Prof. Rafaello Oliveira shows a cleaner idea: use tight head-and-arm control, win the crossface/underhook battle, and climb your hips to turn half guard into Mount—without rushing or getting caught in frames. This is one of those small details that changes your whole top game: more stability, more control, more finishes. Try it in your next roll and feel how quickly the position upgrades.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
