Excellent. It's a basic guard pass, but I learned more about it.
This instructional completely changed the way I approach guard passing—especially against flexible or tricky guards like De La Riva and lasso. What stands out most is the level of detail and structure. Galvão doesn’t just show techniques—he teaches a system that builds layer by layer, from entries to advanced variations and transitions.
a definitive guide to the stack passing technique. detail oriented, as expected from prof Galvao.

One of the first passes I learned, but still one i use every day. Lots of good details and a couple of variations.
Helps to have the details broken down like this.
As a bigger stockier guy, stacking pasing is my favourite way to pass. Guard passing is the hardest thing for me to get the hang of and the first chapter alone has helped me immensely!
Many people would consider Andre Galvao to be one of BJJs greatest competitors of all time. And especially his relentless pressure passing is well known. In this instructional he shows a well rounded gameplay and technical breakdown of the stack pass which your training partners will definitely not appreciate 😁 Give it a try if you like to upgrade your passing game with another intersting option
