This is a video studying the guard passing techniques of Murilo Santana, a well-known BJJ competitor and coach.

Time Notes
0:22 stack pass setup, over/under pass
0:35 “unpassable” guards
stack passing can defeat difficult guards
0:38 back of the pants grip w/ stack passing
^^^ pull and rotate this grip to kill opponent’s hip mobility
stacking an opponent on their shoulders
0:45 stacked guard players no longer have control of where their hips can move
1:00 Murilo Santana’s posture in tripod position
Head is lower than knees, his head is connected to opponent’s face/upper chest
1:18 stand up, tuck head, walk towards opponent
1:28 stack passing from the knees is how it is taught conventionally
1:33 underhook opponent’s legs close to hips
bring your knees close to opponent’s hips
1:37 pull opponent on top of your knees to initiate stacking passes
1:44 from stack: push legs aside, leg drag, pin arms, …
1:51 stack passing is countered with bicep ride and spider guard
1:56 example of bicep ride
1:59 pushing off with bicep ride to maintain guard and defend against stacking
2:07 pushing off with spider guard to defend against stacking
2:16 bicep ride with collar grip
2:21 chopping down with leg from bicep ride w/ collar grip to prevent opponent from stacking/standing
2:27 guard player releasing a sleeve grip is “suicide” against Santana’s stack passing system
2:57 Santana’s system enhances conventional stack passing
prevent establishment of opponent’s guard
create immediate threats that opponent must deal with
tripods grant more mobility than staying on knees
3:09 underhooks kill opponent’s ability to establish guards, funneling their options into bicep ride and spider guard
3:10 stacking opponent denies opponent space to establish spider guard
3:15 tucked head makes pummeling for spider guard difficult
3:25 immediate threat to guard player: get stacked and ran over
3:35 walking forward with the stack pass creates the threat of being stacked to the guard player
4:03 posturing up after walking forward for more lift
4:17 feet under hips before posturing up for more optimal lift
4:32 double unders + walking forward and keeping head tucked funnels guard player into only being able to bicep ride
4:48 stack pass to over/under pass
4:52 “letting go of sleeve is suicide” example
5:02 when opponent lets go of the sleeve, guard passer can switch to an overhook grip on the bicep ride
