I ranked every major guard pass in jiu jitsu from useless to essential based on what actually works when you’re trying to pass against good people. In this episode of the I Suck at Jiu Jitsu Show, I break down the best guard passes in grappling using three criteria: risk, finishability, and versatility. If you’ve ever felt stuck inside someone’s guard, constantly getting swept, submitted, or forced into bad decisions just trying to pass, this will help you see things a lot more clearly. This isn’t just a list of flashy passes. I’m talking about what actually holds up in real training and competition. Which passes are worth building your game around, which ones are more situational, and which ones probably aren’t worth your time right now. I cover passes like the knee cut, torreando, leg drag, side smash, leg weave, float pass, tripod pass, body lock pass, long step, over under, double under, single under, X pass, Sao Paulo pass, cross pant grip passing, back step, reverse knee cut, knee staple, surfer pass, hip switch, cross body half guard passing, and more. If you’re newer and trying to figure out where to focus, or you’ve been training for a while and want to tighten up your passing system, this should give you a solid direction. And if you think I got something completely wrong, I want to hear it. Drop your hottest take in the comments. Subscribe for more jiu jitsu breakdowns, seminars, competition insights, and gameplans.

Two armbar submissions that come on QUICK from side control. Dan Inosanto taught me to steal from anywhere but always give credit. Accordingly, I learned the first armbar by watching the guys at Rob Biernacki's Island Top Team, and the second armbar came from the GOAT Marcelo Garcia when he was in NYC.

Does your sport BJJ translate to a real-life street encounter? In this video, BJJ Black Belt Michael Heinz joins Bernardo Faria to reveal the brutal, counter-intuitive truth about surviving a weapon threat. Introducing a core lesson from his new "Practical Jiu-Jitsu" system, Michael strips away the Hollywood BS and shows you exactly what a Day-1 beginner needs to know to neutralize an armed attacker. You'll learn why traditional grappling instincts (like trying to yank a weapon away) will get you killed, and the specific, leverage-based mechanics required to pin a larger opponent, control the weapon, and safely disarm them by peeling the fingers.

I ranked 66 submissions in Jiu-Jitsu from F Tier to SS Tier (completely useless to absolutely unstoppable) Some of these finishes are guaranteed taps at the highest levels of grappling. Others… shouldn’t even be taught. In this video I break down the most effective submissions in jiu jitsu, the most overrated techniques in grappling, and the finishes that still dominate modern gi, no-gi, and mma. ⚠️ Fair warning: This list is going to make some people angry.

A lot of people are calling Oliveira vs. Holloway the “most boring BMF fight ever,” and we could not disagree more. Charles Oliveira — one of the most decorated submission artists in UFC history — spent a huge portion of the fight on Max Holloway’s back, yet failed to submit him. We break down Max's beautiful display or Jiu-Jitsu defense, and pure heart.

If you are constantly getting your guard passed by younger, faster grapplers because your brain is a second too slow, this video is your cure. You don't need to be faster; you need to stop thinking and start feeling. In this video, Michael Heinz breaks down the exact mechanics of how to stop overthinking and stiffening up under pressure in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. We dive deep into the concept of BJJ Proprioception—the Black Belt secret of relying on touch rather than sight. By the time you see the pass coming, you are already flattened out. We will show you how to "unfocus" your mind, clear the thought loops, and finally understand what your coach means when they tell you to "just relax." In this video, you will learn: Why "trying harder" is actually making your Jiu-Jitsu worse. The "Restart the Computer" mental hack to clear panic under heavy pressure. How to develop Black Belt timing through physical feeling (Proprioception) instead of waiting to see the attack.
