X Pass Basics and Control Principles

X PASS BASICS AND CONTROL PRINCIPLES //
In this video I demonstrate some of the basics and principles of the X Pass.
The X Pass is one of the most simple ways to pass the guard in bjj. It is a guard pass that requires almost no athleticism and it is not very technical. The most important attribute for a good x pass is timing.

Thanks so much for making this video. I feel like I have the mechanics of the pass down but I'm having a hard time getting it to work on live opponents.
Do you have any tips on how to enter the one in one out position without them getting grips/de la Riva/etc?
Also, if I'm standing and they're sitting, it's difficult for me to put them on their back. I usually try to pick up both ankles but then I run into the same issue of getting to the one in one out again without them tying up right away.

[@aaronbenzrihembjj6014]

My best advice is be quick. When you’re comfortable in the position the DLR won’t be as much of a bother. I like to be in dlr because it puts me in my strongest passing position and I typically pass. Hope this helps.
