First class today, another cool passing option, which ties in really well with the earlier classes from Brad, Christian and Lilo. Greg calls it the Skywalker pass, I'd probably go with something like 'shin in stomach float', though that's clunky. ____________________________________ But yeah, versatile, and also ties into standard options like a knee cut if they block certain grips and movements. 😃 #BrazilianJiuJitsu #BJJ #bjjGlobetrotter #bjjGlobetrottersHeidelberg #bjjGlobetrottersCamp #bjjGlobetrotters @bjjglobetrotters #ArtemisBJJatGlobetrotterCamp #BJJGlobetrotterCampHeidelberg2019 #Heidelcamp

Passing. İn a fourth connected lesson, this time the pass contest was mainly the classic starting from knees position. Grab a collar tie, pelting your opposite foot (I think opposite?). They may or may not be gripping your arm: of they are, open up.that arm by raising the elbow. Shoot your non posting let into that gap. You want your shin over their stomach. Once that is in place, it's a simple push off your post, to 'float' into.onee on belly.

Note that this will depend on their knee position. İf is low enough, you can go.r8ght over the top. A bit higher, you might need to.gp.around the side a bit. (F their knee is too.high for all.that, you can probably push it to collapse the legs or a quick.bullfighter type motion.

Another option might be (e.g., from.closed guard, versus butterfly etc) conspire over in a quick knee cut. Opening closed guard into combat base presents that floating knee cut, as might butterfly, or when you've reacted to a counter to.your hip.bump. You might also be able.to.swiftly adjust directly into.the shin on stpmach float, depends on how flexible.and fluid you are.

Pics and video of the "Skywalker Pass" class I taught in Heidelberg. Thanks to @soulcraftbjj for assisting, and thanks to volunteer, @paige_cato , for filming and snapping pics on my phone so I could share this! Thanks again to @bjjglobetrotters for inviting me to teach! Those who attended know they must message me if the pass starts to be successful for them, and that the royalty to me, when they hit the pass, is a low $0.01 per pass, payable next time I see them, in either currency, or vegan pancakes.

I later had a go at teaching this myself, back home at Artemis BJJ:
