In high-level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, guard passing isn’t about speed.
It’s about control.
And no one teaches control like Firas Zahabi.
A black belt under the legendary John Danaher, FZ has spent decades refining the art of efficiency. As the longtime head coach of UFC legend Georges St-Pierre — and the mentor behind numerous elite UFC athletes — Zahabi’s philosophy has always been clear:
Master the fundamentals so deeply that they become unstoppable.
In Advanced Basics 31: Side to Side Passing Made Easy, FZ reveals a systematic passing framework built on balance, pressure, and intelligent transitions.
This isn’t a collection of random techniques.
It’s a cohesive system.
Inside this instructional, Coach Zahabi breaks down:
• How to shift weight side to side without sacrificing base
• How to pin the hips before the opponent can recover guard
• How to anticipate defensive reactions before they develop
• How to maintain constant pressure while staying mobile
• How to finish cleanly and settle into dominant control
The result?
A passing style that works against explosive athletes, flexible guard players, and seasoned competitors alike.
What separates Coach Zahabi from most instructors isn’t just his lineage under John Danaher.
It’s his ability to distill elite concepts into simple, repeatable mechanics.
No wasted motion.
No unnecessary force.
No reliance on athleticism.
Just structure.
Timing.
And leverage.
This is the same technical philosophy that helped shape one of the greatest champions in MMA history — Georges St-Pierre — and continues to influence high-level fighters today.
If you’re tired of getting stuck between sides…
If your passes stall halfway through…
If you want a system that feels effortless but relentless…
Advanced Basics 31 delivers the blueprint.
Side to Side Passing.
Simplified.
Systemized.
Made Easy.
