Butterfly guard tutorial by a black belt

Aesopian · 11-22-2006, 10:25 AM

I've got my hands on another tutorial from John Simon, a Machado black belt under John Will. He put down how he plays butterfly guard, which I found very interesting since he plays with a collar and sleeve grip, not underhooks.

John also did tutorials on triangle and armbar escapes.

If you guys like this, I'll put up his tutorial on passing butterfly guard too.

This is a very noob question, but what is the reason for the butterfly gaurd ??

For sweeps ?

Dude, this is great. What is the catch? Are our souls on the line here? LOL.

Man, those moves are my coach's bread and butter moves.
What's interesting is when I get stuck in his butterfly like the first two sweeps, it always feels like he's going to sweep the other way, and then he goes opposite the side of the stretched out arm.
And the choke, aw man...
