This is a butterfly guard pass which will not require any kind of speed, grips or athleticism; instead it will be all about timing when it comes to this guard pass.
In order to have great timing, you will either need to have lightning-fast reflexes to react to your opponent’s actions, OR a better option is to make your opponent give you a certain reaction that you can anticipate and have an effective guard pass or submission to take advantage of them.
Focusing on this second approach (making your opponent react a certain way and then set a trap for them) is a much easier option and makes you look like a Jedi knight of BJJ!
The great thing is that you can apply the exact same principle to make many other attacks and guard passes or sweeps work!
Here’s a video showing you exactly how to set up this kind of trap for your opponent:
