If you have been doing BJJ for any length of time you have asked yourself this question! Rickson Gracie once said, “the guard is the heart and soul of jiu jitsu”. If you haven’t already noticed, the guard is where you’ll be spending most of your time on the mat. Whether you are fighting off your back or trying to pass, the guard is one of the most intricate and in-depth positions in the art of jiu jitsu.
If you’ve managed to get in the dominant Side Smash position, then getting to Side Control isn’t going to be that complicated! You’ve just got to learn this one extremely important move to complete the pass.
Smash Passing is an awesome way to pass someone’s guard in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu… But, at the same time, there are a lot of details that need to be learned so that you can execute it successfully.
Gregor Gracie shares some of these Smash Passing details and advice on the video below:
