The Foot Wedge half guard pass is a very common fundamental pass that many people use at all level. 

In this video I talk about some concepts to make the foot wedge half guard pass set-up more effective. You can use the foot wedge to work for a knee cutter pass or even drop down into mount.

Check out this nifty little spin under armbar attack from the man that brought us the turtle guard and the octopus guard. 

Normally, when my opponent tries to roll out of my omoplata attack, I ether re-roll for the omoplata or switch off to the armbar. In this video from The Richmond BJJ Academy I might have a third option.

After I sent out the video of the "Low Level X-Pass" I had a lot of people asking me to make a video of the way that I approach the "Standing X-Pass" so I did just that.

Emerson Souza is a regular here on da 'flow. His techniques are sharp, simple and easy to follow. Here in this video, is a nice guard break that sets you up nicely for a standing pass.

About a months ago I made a Short But Sweet Guard Passing video where I do 57 guard passing techniques in just 8 min.

Well I got a lot of people asking about what I call the  "Low Level X-Pass".  It's basically a mix of the X-Pass and the Over/Under pass.

Well, I've been getting great feedback and questions in regards to the "Short but Sweet" reference videos that I've been uploading and one of the more common beginner questions is why I turn my body the way that I do when I am opening my partners guard on my knees in my 57 Guard Passing Techniques in Techniques in Just 8 Minutes Video.
