Precision Knee Cut Passes by Lucas Lepri develops the knee cut across De La Riva, lasso, deep half and X guard. The four-volume series includes tripod, sliding and double-knee-cut variations, entries through toreando, and responses to scoop grips and underhooks.

Its focus is useful for gi players who already favor the knee cut and want more options when the initial entry meets resistance. Passing remains centered on that technique, with substantial attention to gi-specific guards.

Is this for you?

  • You use the knee cut in the gi but struggle against lasso grips, underhooks or deep-half entries.

Also consider

Lucas Lepri: Gi Half-Guard Passing — For a broader range of passes and submission options specifically against coyote, single-leg half and deep half.

Coverage and limits

  • Knee-cut entries from De La Riva and toreando, with weave-pass connections.
  • Tripod, flying, sliding and double-knee-cut variations.
  • Half and full lasso, scoop grips, underhooks, deep half, sit-up guard and X-guard situations.

Limits

  • Substantial lasso and gi-grip material makes this a closer fit for gi passing than an exclusively no-gi game.
  • The knee cut remains the central pass; this is not a survey of all passing styles.
