Knee Cut Pass

The Knee Cut Pass (or Knee Slice Pass) is a fundamental and highly effective guard pass in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. It involves the passer "slicing" or "cutting" one knee across the opponent's thigh (or hip area) while controlling their upper body (often with a cross-face and underhook or pants grip). The aim is to pin the opponent's leg to the mat, neutralize their hip movement, and create a direct pathway to advance to a dominant position like side control or mount. It's known for its efficiency and pressure.
