Fixing My Cross Grip Pass #jiujitsu #bjj #grappling #cla #passing

Most passes fail because of impatience and a lack of intentionality.

In this video I troubleshoot my cross grip pass in competition. Same pass, three different outcomes.

Clip 1: I fail to close the distance with the collar grip and clear the feet off my hips = no pass

Clip 2: I close the distance and clear the feet but I'm not able to puncture the knee elbow connection = no pass

Clip 3: Putting it all together: close the distance, clear the feet, puncture the knee elbow connection = pass (plus a back take and strangle for good measure!)

This is what progress actually looks like in competition: testing, failing, refining, and adapting under resistance.

Be intentional with your grappling. Passing is shaped by the problems your opponent gives you.
