The backstep pass is a guard pass where the passer rotates their hips 180 degrees away from the opponent while maintaining weight on the trapped leg, converting a stalled knee-cut or half guard position into either a completed pass or leg lock entry. [1] The technique evolved organically from half guard and knee-cut passing exchanges in the late 1990s-2000s, with no single inventor credited. Lucas Lepri (multiple IBJJF World Champion) refined the backstep crossface series, and the technique gained further importance as leg lock entries from the backstep position became central to modern no-gi grappling. [2]

Биомеханический механизм
Primary Action — 180-degree hip rotation away from the opponent while maintaining weight on the trapped leg
Force Vector — Redirects force through hip rotation rather than forward pressure, converting stalled passes into completed ones
Dual Function — Creates both passing lanes (to side control) and leg lock entries (to saddle/inside sankaku)
Позиция и вход
From stalled knee-cut — When opponent wins the underhook against the knee slice, backstep by rotating hips 180 degrees
From half guard top — When forward passing is blocked, backstep to redirect attack angle
From headquarters position — Choose backstep when opponent defends the initial knee-cut attempt
Варианты
Backstep to leg drag — rotate and drag the leg across
Backstep to saddle/inside sankaku — enter the leg lock position via hip rotation
Backstep to kneebar — directly attack the knee after rotation
Backstep with crossface — Lucas Lepri's signature, maintain crossface throughout rotation
Backstep to ninja roll — continue the rotation into a rolling back take

✓The backstep became especially prominent as the knee-cut pass became dominant, since it is the primary counter when an opponent successfully wins the underhook against the knee slice. Rather than fighting the underhook head-on, the passer redirects by rotating away. Lucas Lepri refined the backstep crossface series to maintain control throughout. In the 2010s, the backstep gained additional importance as leg lock attacks from the position became central to modern no-gi grappling — the hip rotation naturally creates entries to the saddle and inside sankaku positions.
Типичные ошибки
!Not maintaining weight on the trapped leg during rotation — allows opponent to recover guard
!Rotating too slowly — the backstep must be decisive
!Not choosing a finishing direction — must commit to either passing or leg lock entry
!Leaving the head exposed — the opponent can attack the neck during rotation

Часто задаваемые вопросы
How do I stay safe after the backstep spin without getting my back taken?
According to Simplicity Jiu Jitsu, it's important that you stay on top of your opponent and sit on them right away after the backstep spin. As long as you maintain control of the opponent's leg, you won't be in danger of your back being taken.
What should I do if my opponent defends the knee bar from the backstep position?
Simplicity Jiu Jitsu instructor Stephen Miller shows multiple options: you can establish an underhook with your right hand and hop back to slide into side control, or you can control the opponent's hip and transition to a back take by clearing your knee, getting underhook control, and using the belt and collar grips to establish hooks.
What's the key detail for applying pressure during the backstep pass when I have shoulder pressure?
Stephen Miller emphasizes that if you drive the pressure down to the floor, you won't generate the pressure you need into your opponent's face. Instead, keep everything up—drive your shoulder and grip high while maintaining control of the top knee as you scoot your hips back.
Is there a resting position I can use in the backstep sequence?
Simplicity Jiu Jitsu's Stephen Miller describes a 'position within a position' where you can pause and reassess—controlling the top leg and shin while your knee is to the mat—before deciding whether to continue with a back take, calf slicer, or another finish.
