yep. It took me awhile to get these small details down. When I first started seriously playing BFG, I would often be flat on my back, head in the wrong position, etc, and get passed. After watching some instructionals, and listening to advise on this board, I started playing BFG the correct way.

Sweeps are just so damn easy from BFG. I have to fight like hell to get a sweep from closed and open guard, but I hit the sweep from BFG 65-75% of the time. I've learned how to chain together sweeps when an opponent bases or defends, and enter into x guard if I feel like it. It's very high percentage for me.
