The cartwheel pass bypasses the opponent's guard vertically by executing a lateral cartwheel motion over the guard player's legs, inverting and landing in a dominant position behind or beside them. [1] Drawing from capoeira movement patterns adapted to BJJ by Brazilian practitioners with dual backgrounds, the technique was notably used by Rubens Charles 'Cobrinha' (4x IBJJF World Champion) as part of his butterfly guard passing system. Nick Rodriguez (ADCC 2022 silver medalist) brought renewed attention by using it repeatedly at ADCC. [2]

The standard cartwheel pass is a guard-pass technique that uses a cartwheel-like movement to overcome the guard player's positioning and establish top control. Stephan Kesting emphasizes that the technique requires only basic cartwheel ability and gained prominence through high-level competitors like Sakuraba and Henzo Gracie. Kesting recommends practicing progressive variations—beginning with uneven-height cartwheels on medicine balls to develop stability before attempting the pass on training partners. He advocates starting against butterfly guard, where the guard player's legs are grounded and less entangling, allowing the passer to place one hand on the ground between the opponent's legs while the other hand contacts the shoulder. Upon completing the cartwheel and achieving top position, Kesting highlights two follow-up options: securing a seatbelt grip to work hooks and back control, or applying a rear-naked choke without hooks. BJJ Fanatics instructor Andressa Cintra demonstrates the technique against lapel guard, emphasizing that perfect cartwheel form is unnecessary—speed, timing, and pressure suffice. Cintra stresses creating distance by lifting the legs during the cartwheel motion to break the opponent's grips, then driving pressure downward on both legs using a V-shaped arm position before stepping to complete the pass. Both instructors agree the technique is learnable, effective for catching opponents initially, and best practiced progressively before applying it in live rolling.

✓The cartwheel pass draws from capoeira movement adapted to grappling. Cobrinha (4x IBJJF World Champion, capoeira practitioner) teaches it as part of his butterfly guard passing. Nick Rodriguez used it repeatedly at ADCC 2022, confusing opponents by jumping over their guards. Ronaldo 'Jacare' Souza also demonstrated it. Requires athleticism, balance, and comfort with inversion.
Типичные ошибки
!Landing on the neck/shoulder — must maintain control throughout the cartwheel
!Telegraphing the movement — the cartwheel must be sudden
!Not securing a grip after landing — must immediately establish control
!Attempting against an opponent who is tracking your hips — works best when opponent is focused on defending lateral passes

Часто задаваемые вопросы
Do I need to be flexible or athletic to learn the cartwheel pass?
No. Stephan Kesting emphasizes that you only need to be able to do a basic cartwheel—he notes that even at 215 pounds with an older body, he can cartwheel, so the pass is accessible to most people.
What's the most important thing to control when attempting the cartwheel pass?
According to Jordan Teaches Jiujitsu, you must prioritize keeping your opponent's feet off of you—feet function like hand grips for the legs, so controlling them is critical to successfully hitting guard passes.
Should I break all of my opponent's grips before passing?
Jordan Teaches Jiujitsu explains that you only need to remove grips that actively stop you from executing the pass; you can chain passes together if they defend with remaining grips, so breaking every grip isn't always necessary.
