The X pass is a fundamental guard-passing technique executed from a one-in-one-out passing position, where one leg is inside the opponent's legs and one is outside. All three instructors agree on the core mechanics: the passer controls the opponent's leg with one hand (typically gripping the knee or pants) while securing the upper body with the other (lapel/collar in gi, chest in no-gi). The pass initiates by shifting weight away from the controlling hand while explosively kicking the inside leg upward through the opponent's hip and groin area—not merely at the knee crease—with sufficient force to clear the leg. The Grapple Lab emphasizes maintaining good posture and foot positioning to prevent sweeps, and stresses that the pass works best when baiting the opponent with another pass (knee cut or folding pass) first, creating inattention. Tristar Gym introduces the foundational windshield-wiper drill to establish inside control before the X pass, highlighting the importance of ankle pressure to prevent the opponent from regaining butterfly hooks, and describes a rapid mule-kick motion directly to knee-on-belly. Aaron Benzrihem emphasizes the simplicity and effectiveness of the technique while warning against common mistakes—kicking only at the knee rather than the quad/groin—and notes the small hop or jump before the pass to transfer full body weight through the inside leg. All three agree the finishing position is knee-on-belly, from which further transitions (side control, leg drag) are available.

The Grapple Lab emphasizes maintaining good posture with feet flat on the floor—avoid leaning too far into your partner because it gives them the ability to sweep you.
According to Tristar Gym, you need to use the windshield wiper pummel with your legs to gain inside control first; your opponent's legs should be inside your legs, not outside, before you can execute the X pass.
Aaron Benzrihem explains to kick up at the groin or quad area, then bring your heel up and flare it toward the ceiling—this is extremely important for control. Then bring your heel up to your hips and pummel it inside your opponent's leg.
Aaron Benzrihem advises against pushing the foot away, as your opponent will use that momentum to shrimp effectively; instead, push it up as they shrimp since they won't be as strong during the shrimping motion.
The X Pass is a fundamental open guard pass where the passer steps to the side and drives the knee across while controlling the opponent's legs. It is one of the simplest and most effective open guard passes.
