Day #191 - Knee Cut Pass from Closed Guard | Houzn BJJ 365

This concept from Professor Rafaello Oliveira will tighten up your passing fast. The goal is simple: win inside position, create the right angle, and apply steady pressure so the hips can’t follow you. No speed tricks, no strength battles—just clean structure that works in Gi or No-Gi. Watch the clip, try it on both sides in your next rounds, and notice how your base feels heavier and your pass becomes harder to stop. For more quick, high-percentage instructionals, follow the BJJ 365 series and save this one to drill.

Day #190 - Pinning Pass Windshield Wiper vs Long Step | Houzn BJJ 365

Professor Rafaello Oliveira’s Pinning Pass is about one thing: control first, then move. By anchoring your opponent with real pin pressure, you take away their hip freedom and force predictable reactions—making the Windshield Wiper or the Long Step feel clean, fast, and hard to stop. If your guard passing sometimes turns into a scramble, this is the reset you need: pin, angle, pass. Try it in drilling, then test it in rolling and notice how much calmer your top game feels. Follow the BJJ 365 series for more daily, high-percentage Jiu Jitsu.

Day #189 - Stack Pass from Closed Guard (Full Guard) | Houzn BJJ 365

Train the Stack Pass from a closed guard with Professor Rafaello Oliveira. The concept is simple: keep strong posture, stack with pressure, and turn their guard retention into space to pass. No “arm strength” required—just base, weight placement, and commitment. If you get stuck inside a closed guard or feel trapped by their hips, this one concept can change your top game and create openings when they react. Try it in your next round (with a controlled partner) and notice what breaks first: posture or pressure. For more short, practical lessons, follow the BJJ 365 series and watch the next drop.

🔥 Why Small Wins Matter in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

One thing Trey Harrell loves about training at Houzn Jiu Jitsu Academy is how Brazilian Jiu Jitsu teaches you to value small wins again. He’ll tell you straight: if you can avoid getting submitted for 30 seconds longer against someone experienced, that’s progress. You won’t win every round early on—and that’s the point. Growth here is earned, not given. In a world built on instant gratification, it’s refreshing to do something real, where patience pays off and breakthroughs actually mean something. If you’re new, don’t chase perfection. Chase the next small, honest win.

Day #188 - Spider Pass Variation: Kick to Kill the Hook | Houzn BJJ 365

Want to pass Spider Guard without fighting the hook for the whole round? In this Spider Pass variation, Professor Rafaello Oliveira uses a simple, high-percentage concept: kick the opponent’s bent leg to “kill” the hook, disrupt their structure, and open the lane for forward pressure. It’s a small adjustment that makes a big difference—especially against sharp Spider players who know how to glue you in place. Try it in training and feel how much easier your pass becomes. If you want more clean, practical concepts like this, follow the BJJ 365 series and watch the next instructionals.

Day #187 - Spider Pass Knee Bump to Leg Drag | Houzn BJJ 365

Professor Rafaello Oliveira’s Spider Pass Knee Bump to Leg Drag is a clean way to turn sticky spider guard into forward pressure and clear control. The idea is simple: break the guard’s structure, bump the knee to open the lane, then switch angles into a leg drag that puts you on top with purpose. If Spider Guard has been slowing your passing down, drill this and feel how quickly the position flips in your favor. Watch the full instructional, test it in rolling, and save it for next class. Follow Houzn’s BJJ 365 series for daily techniques.
