Common BJJ Problems & FAQ
Q: Why do I feel like my shoulder is getting crunched when I try to do the BJJ Over-Under Pass?
This often happens when you're not driving your chest into your opponent's hip and instead rely on an arm-based push. To fix this, focus on using your shoulder and chest to apply pressure, creating a strong base and keeping your elbow tucked to avoid hyperextension.
Q: How can I effectively use my hips to generate power for the BJJ Over-Under Pass against someone who is much larger than me?
To generate power, drive your hips forward and down, creating a wedge with your chest and shoulder against their hip. Simultaneously, use your free arm to secure a grip on their far leg or hip, allowing you to leverage your body weight and hip drive to break their posture and move around them.
Q: When I attempt the BJJ Over-Under Pass, my opponent keeps shrimping away, how can I prevent them from escaping?
To prevent shrimping, maintain constant forward pressure with your chest and shoulder into their hip, preventing them from creating space to move their hips. Simultaneously, ensure your legs are actively driving forward, creating a tight frame that limits their ability to move their hips laterally.
