More from The General on Guard Passing

From Gracie Magazine

If you could point out the five greatest passers in Jiu-Jitsu history, who would they be, yourself excluded? Can you point out the qualities of each of them?

In first place, Rickson Gracie, who has as his main quality the fact he perceives each adversary's point of discomfort and doesn't let him get out of this point ever. In second, Murilo Bustamante, who has great reach and a strong "bull-fighting" pass. Cobrinha comes in third, for his impressive movement, adjustment and balance. In fourth, Royler Gracie, who is a light guy who would pass guard as though he were heavy. In fifth is Roger Gracie, who makes incredible guards seem nonexistent. Roger has size, weight and refined technique.
