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.

In this lesson Xande stresses the importance of keeping your head under your opponent's chin and having a high grip on their back with the double underhooks to stay glued chest to chest with your opponent. It is beneficial to stay glued to your opponent in this position as you will have more opportunities to off balance and attack your opponent.Add to Favorites 1098 Remove From Favorites 3969 days ago

Rico explains how to control the distance and attack your opponent from the z guard or half guard knee shield position with the rollover sweep or omoplata. Afterwards he explains that he switches between the knee shield, spider guard, butterfly guard, and classic open depending on the distance as well as whether his opponent is standing or on their knees. If your opponent is on both knees, a half spider or butterfly guard may make more sense while a classic open, spider guard, or de la riva guard will work more effectively against a standing opponent.Add to Favorites 1362 Remove From Favorites 3995 days ago
Saulo teaches multiple options to attack your opponent from the butterfly guard with the belt grip. Saulo prefers the belt grip because it allows you to close distance between you and your opponent forcing them to raft very quickly to your attacks. The butterfly guard should be very aggressive with fast paced sweeps because idle moments will allow your opponent to set up their offense.Add to Favorites 1405 Remove From Favorites 4017 days ago
