???? Fundamentals Of Jiu-Jitsu: Half Guard Pressure Passing

An in-depth, pressure-centric passing system that turns half guard into a launching pad for dominant top control—built on mechanics, timing, and relentless forward movement.

???? Course Overview

Nicholas Meregali, a multiple-time world champion, shares a methodical curriculum designed to help you pressure through half guard using structure and precision. This course emphasizes weight distribution, base control, and progressive passing chains to break frames, neutralize counterattacks, and unify positional dominance from half guard into deeper control.

???? What You’ll Learn

  • Positional Structure & Pressure Mechanics
    Key body alignment: chest-to-hip angle, knee placement, and head posture
    Leveraging base, weight shifts, and balance to collapse knee shields
    Techniques to bind the opponent’s near side and eliminate movement
  • Pass Entry Systems
    Direct pressure entries: knee-slice, smash, and walk-around transitions
    Frame destruction chains: cross face resets, underhook insertion, and pressure layering
    Combining pressure with angle shifts for efficient guard entry
  • Passing Flow & Positional Chains
    Pressure pass sequencing: half guard → side control → knee-on-belly → mount
    Linkage transitions designed to maintain forward motion
    Drillable passing flow for building live-resistance habits
  • Counter Control & Scramble Prevention
    Methods to counter shrimp, recover, or instigate guard resets
    Seamless regreasing into dominant positions during opponent rebounds
    Reaction drills to stabilize control and neutralize scrambling
  • Drill Integration & Live Application
    Partner drills designed around anchor-pressure concept
    Situational sparring to refine timing, pressure sense, and pass persistence

  • Want to pressure pass with control and structure, not strength
