Power Judo Guard Passing by Jimmy Pedro

The Power Judo Guard Passing by Jimmy Pedro

Jimmy Pedro, the most successful competitor and coach from America has some moves that everyone has forgotten about.  Do they still work?  Abso-freakin-lutely.  While Jimmy respects BJJ a lot, he often looks at the complex guards today and thinks that people are overthinking things.  There are some simple ways to pass almost any guard, and when he tries them he still smashes them. 

The Same Pass Every Time

Jimmy starts off with what he calls a split the legs pass – or an over/under.  You can literally use this pass for any guard and go into it at any time.  This pass is used a lot in Newaza – principally by pressure passer Bernardo Faria, but Jimmy has a very different twist on it – literally.  It is a different pass but equally as effective.  If you like the type of Newaza that is simple, strong and works every time, you will be blown away by this pass.

A System For Destroying the Half Guard

Jimmy is a system guy: he got that from his dad, also a very accomplished Judo player and coach.  A lot of guys struggle passing half guard, especially against aggressive guys who love to study the latest trends in Half Guard.  But Jimmy  has a rule, if your knees are pinned on one side and your head is being forced to face the the other way, you can’t hold half guard.  Jimmy has used his half guard pass to win untold amounts of championships against the toughest groundfighters from Brazil (Judo is even more popular in Brazil than BJJ – most people don’t know that) and to win multiple Olympic Medals.   This will shred any halfguard that you face in class or in tournaments.  It is simple, hard nosed and it works – no more grasping for answers..
