Get chest to chest. Everything else is noise. Chris "Bones" Burns teaches guard passing as three building blocks — base, connection and weight distribution — instead of a hundred passes to memorise. Become impossible to move, take the space away so they can never recover, and make them carry your weight the whole way. Stop learning how to pass every guard and learn one pass that works against all of them.
Be heavy, leave no space, only go forwards
Most people let the guard dictate the pass.
They get caught up in trying to learn how to pass X-Guard, De La Riva, Half-Guard, Butterfly Guard. You name it. Every guard becomes its own problem to solve, and you end up getting stuck.
Guard passing should be about one thing: getting your chest on their chest. Everything else is noise.
This Deep Dive shows you the three building blocks you need to get right to start making passing easy.

You don't need to know how to pass 100 types of guards. You need to learn 1 pass that works against 100 guards.
Jiu-Jitsu is hard. Take it from me.
In my first 10 years I went to different gyms and the only thing I collected were injuries and moves. Sure I got tough, but my game never really grew.
I was missing the building blocks. Just like so many of us are.
It wasn't until I started learning from Rickson Gracie that everything changed. I learned that Jiu-Jitsu is about efficiency. Less is more.
Instead of learning 1000 things, you need to learn 1 thing 1000 ways.
Guard passing is the same. You don't need to know how to pass 100 types of guards. You need to learn 1 pass that works against 100 guards.
And that's what I'm going to teach you.
A look inside
Watch Chris teach a full lesson from the course. He shows how the three building blocks — base, connection and weight distribution — work together to make passing effective.
Full lesson from the course
The Only Pass You Need
Base, connection and weight distribution working together. This is the pass that works against 100 guards, taught the way Chris teaches it on the mat.
Why you keep getting stuck
Problem 01
“I get stuck trying to pass”
You get tangled up in their guard. Whether it's a knee shield or half guard, you feel stuck and can't pass.
The fix
Get your chest to their chest and make them uncomfortable.
Problem 02
“I get swept or submitted”
Good guard players are nightmares. You feel like it's only a matter of time before they catch you with a sweep, back take or submission.
The fix
Become a mountain on the mats. Use base and weight distribution to crush their dreams.
Problem 03
“They keep recovering guard”
You are so close to passing. They shrimp, bump and frame and just manage to recover. Now you have to start all over again.
The fix
Get rid of the space. Use connection to plug the gaps that they use to recover.
The three building blocks
Get these three right, and it stops mattering what guard they play. When you're heavy, leave no space, and only go forward, you will pass.
- 01
Base — become a mountain
Before you can take anything from them, you have to be impossible to move. They should feel like they're trying to tip over a mountain.
- 02
Connection — take the space away
Every gap is a chance for them to frame, shrimp, or recover guard. Connection closes those gaps so there's nothing they can do.
- 03
Weight Distribution — make them carry you
They should be under your weight the entire time, uncomfortable, working just to breathe. Your weight does the passing while they spend everything they have holding it up.

How it will change your Jiu-Jitsu
Imagine being able to pass guard the same way every time. Get chest to chest and make them suffer. You don't get stuck in half guard, De La Riva, or whatever new guard pops up. You feel heavy, leave no space and only go forwards. You become unstoppable.

- Is this a one-time purchase or a subscription?
- One-time purchase. You pay once and get lifetime access to the Guard Passing Deep Dive, no subscriptions, no hidden fees.
- Do I need to be good at passing already?
- No. This isn't a hundred passes to memorise. It's one destination, chest on chest, and the building blocks to get there against any guard. If you keep getting stuck, swept, or having guard recovered on you, that's exactly who this is for.
