Once we are able to maintain the position, we can set our grips to set up one of the three sweeps depending on how your opponent reacts to your positioning.

Xande's closing lesson from the butterfly seminar covers how to get underneath your opponent if they decide to post out by standing against your classic hook sweep. When your opponent posts a leg out, it gives you the space to hook the far leg and get underneath them to transition into various X guard sweeps. Combining multiple attacks such as the arm lock and the x-guard transition with the hook sweep can confuse your opponent and allow you to capitalize on their reaction.
