🥋 Technique Highlight: Knee Cut Pass from Headquarters with Professor Dallas Niles

A strong knee cut is more than just a single pass—it’s a concept you can apply from a wide range of passing positions.

In this featured video, Professor Dallas Niles of Method Jiu Jitsu demonstrates a powerful Knee Cut Pass from Headquarters, using pressure, angle, and control to move through the guard and establish dominant position.

🔹 Control the hips and limit your opponent’s movement
🔹 Create the angle needed for an effective knee cut
🔹 Use pressure and positioning to secure the pass

The real value of the knee cut is its versatility. Once you understand the core mechanics, the same concepts can show up from headquarters, half guard, open guard, and throughout your passing game.

Whether you’re building your first passing system or refining an already developed game, the knee cut is a fundamental worth mastering.

this week has been a very special reminder of just how far I’ve grown along this journey of life & martial arts.

I had the opportunity to travel to Tulsa, OK to help teach classes at Method Jiu Jitsu while my big brother, Professor @dallasniles recovers from surgery.

It’s crazy to think that a little over a decade ago, he was one of my very first instructors & fast forward to now I had the privilege of standing in front of his students as a Black Belt, sharing not only the techniques I’ve learned, but the way I think about jiu jitsu and the values that continue to shape me.

Life has a funny way of bringing things full circle.

One of the greatest privileges this journey has shown me is realizing that the people who once invested in me now trust me to invest in others & that responsibility isn’t something I take lightly.

To everyone at @methodjjtulsa , thank you for welcoming me with open arms. Everyone’s willingness to learn, ask questions, and embrace new ideas made teaching incredibly rewarding. Professor Dallas has built something special, and it was an honor to play a small part in it.

Now I’m back home to finish up the final stretch of training camp before the IBJJF Dallas Open this weekend.

What a life 🪽

A little follow up on my neck… After consulting with a few different surgeons from around the world it looks like somehow my neck is even worse than we initially thought. Along with my severe multi level stenosis I also have a massive bone spur that’s developed and digging into my spinal cord (circled in red). All the surgeons have come to the same conclusion which is my days of hard sparring are over without risking paralysis.

Honestly, I’m gutted. I have dedicated the last 2 decades of my life to the game and worked extremely hard to achieve a level of technical proficiency and deep knowledge of the art for both myself as a competitor and for my students as a coach. Even though I had a good career marked with a lot of high points I still felt like there was more left to give and really looked forward to getting my neck fixed, getting in shape, and getting back out there. Unfortunately it appears that won’t be possible.
I’m really happy that I’m able to continue my coaching career and develop the next generation of competitors and non competitive practitioners because pouring into others is one of the things that fills my cup and I will now have to live vicariously through my students 😂

I’m consulting with a couple more surgeons just to see if there isn’t someone out there with an innovative procedure that may allow me the ability to train hard again (if you know of anyone send them my way) but it’s bleak.

Lastly, a lot of this past month or so has made me realize more and more how short life is and how easy it is to take a lot of different things for granted. How easy it is to let stress take too much of a hold on you when it comes to things and people that just don’t really matter in the long run, when your time and attention should’ve gone to the people and things that do.

I’m now 41 and I have other priorities that didn’t exist those years back when I was chasing accolades and world titles. Life still has a lot of amazing things to offer and while I’m gutted with this news I’m also hopeful.

In this segment of the @bjj.fanatics Podcast, @dallasniles talks about the fact that you do NOT need to be a champion competitor in order to be an elite coach. He points out that many of the best coaches in the sport weren’t champions, and in his experience, some champions don’t make the best teachers. Do you agree? Full episode available on all podcast platforms and YouTube!
