BJJ for Old F***s, the Passing Game is dedicated to giving older grapplers the techniques, strategies, and training methods they need to pass the guard of any opponent and stay effective on the mats.
In this instructional you’ll first get the critical concepts for passing the guard as an older guy so that you can smash those younger players while staying safe. Then you’ll get 5 complete strategies for passing the guard, including the setups, followups, and finishes. Four of these strategies work equally well gi and no gi (we did include one that’s a little more gi-oriented).
Here’s a complete list of what’s covered in this amazingly detailed instructional…
PASSING CONCEPTS FOR OLD F***S
These are the guiding principles that will keep you relevant, safe and effective on the mats in your high-mileage body. A concepts-first approach is so much more powerful than simply memorising a whole bunch of techniques…
- Passing Standing vs Kneeling
- Controlling Your Center of Gravity
- Staying Out of Guards
- Basic Sweep Recovery
- Base Switching
- Post Switching
STACKING PASSES
These stacking sequences are the perfect way to smash and pass those younger, more flexible, more athletic grapplers. This approach allows you to ‘cook’ your opponent so that he’ll practically beg you to pass his guard.
- The 3 Passing Positions (Tripod, Stack, Cross Body)
- Putting Them On Their Back
- Breaking Posture vs Seated Guard
- Passing from the Stack
- Forcing the Leg Drag vs Flexible Players
- Taking the Back When They Roll
- Transition to the Knee-Over Pass
- Transitioning to the Tripod
- Tying it All Together
- FYJJ The Stack
TRIPOD PASSING
Tripod passing is the most energy efficient way to pass the guard while preventing your opponent from putting you into any sort of meaningful entanglement. Perfect for grapplers in their 40’s and 50’s, this one volume will totally change the way that you pass the guard.
- The Tripod Position
- Toreando Pass From High Tripod
- Shin Circle or X Pass From High Tripod
- Underhook Knee Cut Pass From High Tripod
- Double Underhooks and Knee Cut Pass From High Tripod

CROSS BODY GRIP PASSING
Cross body grip passing gives you maximum control while exposing you to minimum risk. This passing system basically allows you to walk around your opponent’s guard while preventing him from sweeping or submitting you.
- The Cross Body Grip Position
- Breaking Posture to Establish a Threat
- Winning the Grips
- Passing to the Collar Side

FORCING AND PASSING HALF GUARD
Forcing your way into the half guard and then passing from there is one of those old-school techniques that works even better today. The key is having an answer to each problem that your opponent puts in your way so you can systematically dismantle their defenses on your way to your dominant position.
- Passing From the Knees
- Forcing Half Guard
- Transitioning to the Tripod vs Knee Shield
- Windshield Wiper to Knee Over Pass vs Knee Shield
- Defeating Upper Body Frames to Win Underhook or Crossface

BODYLOCK PASSING
