TURN THEIR KNEE CUT INTO YOUR SWEEP | BJJ Guard Retention & Wrestling Up (Part 2) #wrestling

The knee cut pass is one of the most common and effective guard passes in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Normally, when the top player initiates a knee cut, the bottom player frames, creates space, and looks to recover full guard. While this is a safe and reliable way to defend, it often keeps you stuck in a defensive cycle until you can off-balance the passer. Another high-percentage option against the knee cut pass is wrestling up into a single leg sweep. By choosing to wrestle up instead of only relying on guard retention, you can turn a defensive situation into an offensive one—forcing the top player to deal with your attacks instead of the other way around. In this video, we break down: When to wrestle up vs. when to retain guard during a knee cut pass The most common passing attempts you’ll encounter from the top player How to counter those passes by wrestling up for a sweep This is an essential concept for anyone looking to improve their BJJ guard retention, passing counters, and wrestling integration on the mats.
