We've been working a lot of butterfly guard lately and its finally coming together for me a bit. I think a lot of people give up on it too early, it does take more time to get down tha others, at least in my xp with it, but I am finally seeing what a solid guard it is.
I agree with it being an essential in between guard. Lately it is the first one I look for when I'm recomposing, even before 1/2 guard if its at all possible.
I have long legs so I will keep working it for sure.
Also on this topic, I never really respected BFG until I sparred with a huy who plays it really well. Nothing is more frustrating than trying to pass a good BFG. When you get tired out, get ready to go flying!!!
Great post.
