What Will You Learn?

Passing the guard is where most grapplers get stuck, and few coaches make it as simple and reliable as Jared Welman.

Welman is a BJJ black belt and instructor at the Bernardo Faria Academy, where he has built a reputation for fixing the details that hold students back. After breaking down submissions, escapes and half guard in the Fix Your Fundamentals series, now he's sharing his approach to passing the guard.

In Fix Your Fundamentals Passing Guard, Welman starts with passing concepts and stances, then works through seated, butterfly and supine guards with the circle style pass, knee slice, toreando, leg drag and folding smash pass. He follows with a full volume on half guard passing, a volume on passing from the knees with the weave, stack, over/under, double under and body lock, and a final volume on connecting your passes. This isn't just a list of guard passes, it's a complete passing system you can use against any guard.

Whether you're a newer grappler building your top game from zero or an experienced player who keeps getting stuck in the legs, these fundamentals serve as the foundation for every pass you will ever hit.

These passes work because they are built on posture, distance and pressure, not speed or athleticism. When your opponent defends one pass, you will know exactly which pass comes next, so you spend less time stuck in the guard and more time on top.

If you've ever wondered why elite grapplers seem to walk past the guard while you fight for every inch, the answer is almost always in the fundamentals.

Learn how to pass the guard with structure, pressure and a clear plan with Jared Welman.
