Passing butterfly guard
One spine, six branches, a pin. In the seated entries these coaches show, three features carry the sweep: posture, hooks with angle, and an attachment that loads your weight onto a hook. The spine below takes them away in a fixed order: win the grip fight, lock the hips, drive the shoulders down, kill one hook, cross the knee line. Built from 37 videos whose transcripts were read and cited at the second. The framework and the session are the author's; the mechanics are the coaches'.
Key takeaways
- Success means A pin held for three seconds, side control or mount. Half guard with a near-side underhook is this spine's waypoint, not its finish.
- The spine is 9 steps from first grip to the pin, ankle and collar, threaten the angle, lock: long arm, short arm, shoulders down, sprawl the right hip, cross the knee line, near-side underhook, half guard: set the base, free the knee, double unders, the last leg, then the pin.
- When it breaks there are 6 named branches; learn the triggers, the responses are short.
- Evidence: 37 clips from 22 channels (18 clips from a coach's own channel, 11 from a gym's, 8 from an instructional publisher's), every timestamp checked against the spoken transcript. Sentences marked synthesis are the editors', not a coach's.
posture
Shoulders in front of hips, elbows tucked, the butt often light. Shaolin: if the butt is on the floor, a lot of the time they have no motion to sweep with.
hooks with angle
Knee bent, wedged under your armpit or on your ribs. Never at your centre line, and never extended: Wardzinski keeps the top leg bent and lifts with the bottom one.
attachment
A 2-on-1, an underhook or double overhooks that load you onto a hook before the lift. They push and pull; you must answer both.
success means
synthesis The legs are cleared and a pin is held for three seconds, side control or mount. This spine uses near-side-underhook half guard as its intermediate position; other passes in the reference bypass it. Danaher's order for a seated opponent: negate first, pass second.

Nicky Ryan's body lock, first grip to pin
One coach, one video, entry to side control, written in his own sides: right hand on the ankle, right hip sprawls, left knee steps over, the right leg is the one that ends up trapped and freed. Mirror the whole thing for the other side. The two places your partner will fight back are steps 5 and 8, and the continuation is already in the sequence. Lachlan Giles supplies the checks.

GATE
Grip fight
Do not shoot with an arm controlled across your centre.
If they take two hands on your posting arm, elevate the ankle and put them onto their back, or cut an angle so they must face you. Hand-fight for inside position: a grip that covers the inside of their wrist makes them move the hand to break it, and that is your gap. synthesis If the entry is denied, circle for a new angle or reset; the lock is not available until your hands are free.
0:42Jozef Chen · B-Teamno-gi2-on-1 on your post: elevate the ankle, or cut the angle
0:58Lachlan Gilesno-giinside hand control; they must move to break itStop condition.Gi: a collar grip already on your neck means clear it before you commit the head or lock the hands; the sources name collar and loop chokes as the price of a lowered head. synthesis No-gi, the equivalent stop is a wrapped neck: defend the neck first.
-
1
Ankle and collar, threaten the angle
Right hand inverted on the ankle, left hand to the collar tie, threaten to run to an angle.
The common reaction is a post on the mat and a square-up. That square-up is your entry.
-
2
Lock: long arm, short arm
Elbows back, head to the shoulder, level change, lock.
Never lock directly in the middle: it narrows your base for sumi gaeshi and takes away the elbow that stops their knee coming to their chest. One hand deep to the far hip, the other shallow; do not extend both. Two checks: your shoulder stays below the line of their shoulders even if you lose the head battle, and your feet stay wide and parallel so there is no leg to grab.

-
3
Shoulders down, sprawl the right hip
Head keeps driving their shoulders to the mat; sprawl the right hip down to kill the hook on that side.
When they try to elevate with that hook it is “very difficult” for them. Lachlan’s version of the same idea: the first movement is to straighten the leg on the hook side.
-
4
Cross the knee line
Left elbow pinches their other knee, walk out to your left, big step so your left knee covers it.
The sprawled hip and the pinching elbow are on opposite sides of you. Small side steps until that knee touches the mat, then the step over. Lachlan walks it clockwise until the knee line is beaten.
-
5they: They post a hand inside your left knee to stop it reaching the mat.
Near-side underhook
Unlock, flick the left elbow into their forearm, left-arm underhook, head to the far side, left knee down, right knee up.
Take the near-side underhook with the left arm as the elbow flicks; the head transfers across; the left knee drops as the right knee comes off the mat. You are in half guard with a left underhook and a right tight waist, and your right leg is the one they will trap. synthesis Lachlan’s check, imported from his locked version: shoulder into the chest, and never let it rise above the line of their head.
-
6
Half guard: set the base
Lean left, extract the right hand, forehead to the mat over their shoulder, right hand posts.
The lean to the underhook side frees the right hand. The forehead over their shoulder and the posted hand are your base for everything that follows.
-
7
Free the knee
Small steps to your right; the right hand posts inside their knee.
Try to free the right knee and place it on the mat. Most partners will not let you.
-
8they: They post on your right knee.
Double unders
Swim the right hand inside, right knee to the mat, head switches back across.
The second post is the signal to swim the right hand inside for double underhooks. As the right knee drives to the mat, the head switches back to the other side.
-
9
The last leg, then the pin
Tripod, your own hook in, free the right leg, windshield-wiper out, knee down.
Tripod up, insert your own butterfly hook, use it to free the right leg, windshield-wiper the legs out to the side, place the knee on the mat, side control. synthesis Keep the double underhooks until the knee is down. Hold three seconds. The hook’s exact contact is shown, not narrated: watch the clip rather than trusting a description.
— grip notes
- Why long arm, short arm.
Lachlan and Nicky both want it for this pass because the short elbow controls the knee. Danaher's centre lock and Gordon's wrist-to-wrist are other configurations for other purposes, not errors; they live in the reference.
- Sore wrist.
Gordon's answer: an unlocked tight waist with the elbow inside. Same mechanics, no wrist load.
— when the spine breaks
6 branches
Each one names the trigger you will feel, then the response. Learn the triggers; the responses are short.
- Elevated before the lock is set
synthesis Controlled reset: hands to the mat, hips back, get your weight off the hooks and your feet out of reach, and re-enter through the gate. Do not improvise a head post here; Lachlan’s head-then-foot counter needs an underhook you already own and lives in the reference, to rehearse separately, not as a reflex.
- They block your step into half guard
From the low lock, when they post on your knee or keep the hook alive and you cannot pummel a leg through, do not stay low: go to the high tripod so your legs are weightless, then pummel your leg to the inside. They can only take one leg out at a time. The sprawled hip from step 3 is what keeps the lift itself difficult. synthesis If they do lift you, base first (B1) before you climb.
- They forward-shift and sit you up, front lock on
synthesis Tonight: stop and reset. Gordon’s answer is to take the leg as they shift and convert to a side body lock, but the leg, the hand control and the movement outside both knees are shown on camera, not narrated, so it stays a viewing reference (under Lock, other views) until you have rehearsed it slowly with a partner.
- They turn away
Deep tight waist, ear on their back, hang and let them carry you; as they scissor up, insert a hook. Face you = pin. Turn away = back. synthesis Tonight does not teach the back as an endpoint, so reset on a turn-away.
- They secure an underhook from butterfly
Late, when they have the underhook and are almost sweeping you: the leg weave, with your leg hooking theirs from the outside so that even an invert lands you in side control. Earlier, before they load you: post on their knee, lean your weight onto that hand so the far leg goes light, and step that leg in between; you arrive in the knee slide holding the underhook and overhook you want, not theirs.
- They wrestle up
Pin the bottom leg: it has to retract for them to stand. If they turn to the other side, the other leg becomes the bottom leg, so track it. synthesis If they are already up, get your head and hands back in front like a wrestler and re-enter; there is no passing chart for a standing opponent.
— negate first
Threat map
Some of the clips on the left show the coach performing the attack; watch them once so you recognise it. The answer on the right is a spine step, a branch, or marked as synthesis.
- Arm drag on a reaching hand
-
what they are doing
your answer
Keep the spine's grip order: ankle and collar tie, then the level change. Win inside hand position. synthesis Protect against an uncontrolled reach; a controlled ankle grip is part of the entry.
- 2-on-1 on your arm
-
what they are doing
your answer
Early, while it is only a 2-on-1: elevate the ankle and put them on their back, or cut an angle. synthesis Once the shoulder crunch is established (their elbow high over your shoulder, your posture gone), no escape is taught here: training stop, partner releases, reset.
- Double overhooks on your lock
-
what they are doing
your answer
No clip shows an escape, and no live escape is taught here. synthesis Prevention only: shoulder below their shoulder line and elbows tight on the way in, so both overhooks are hard to get. Once they have them, tonight is a training stop: partner releases the controls, both reset.
- Forward shift / sumi gaeshi
-
what they are doing
your answer
If it comes off a 2-on-1, the answer was the gate, early. If it comes against your established front lock, B3: tonight that is a reset; the side-lock conversion is a viewing reference.
- Guillotine as you drive
-
what they are doing
your answer
Forehead on the chin or sternum, eyes up, never chin down. Gi: clear collar grips first (the stop condition at the gate).
- Leg entries: SLX, X, ashi
-
what they are doing
your answer
The lock itself: with the hips controlled it is “hard for guys to enter into your legs and leg lock you or sweep you”. Feet wide. Standing does not remove this threat; shin-on-shin entries to single-leg X exist against a standing passer.
- Knee loaded on your ribs
-
what they are doing
your answer
synthesis Base first when loaded, recover the position, then return to step 3. The sprawl restricts the hook while your controls are intact; it is not a cure once your weight is already on it.

Reference
Everything else that passes butterfly guard, grouped by door. Gi clips are marked; where a pass depends on a fabric grip, it says so.
Lockother views of the body lock
- Lachlan Giles
Gi version against butterfly: head under the chin first, lock low to control the hips, up into a tripod, walk to the side, catch the leg and extend it away.
- Shawn Williams
Hand lock: a C-clamp rather than palm-to-palm, so the pressure lands on the leg and not up at the hip. Sag on their legs with the head mid-chest, looking up. Pivot and turn them a little before you drive them flat, or you never get over the knee.
- Gordon Ryan
When to body lock: strong seated players and leg lockers. Front lock, side lock and tight waist are one game: when they forward-shift against your front lock, take the leg and convert to a side lock; flow between locked and unlocked hands. Watch the conversion; its geometry is shown, not narrated.
- Giancarlo Bodoni
Three locks ranked: front (easiest to get, slowest to pass), side (stronger), high double-under over both knees (strongest, hardest to reach).
Cutunderhook knee cut
- JT Torres
Control the head first, step one leg in from the outside with the knee at the chest, close the outside arm, guide to the hip, switch hands to the underhook when they push you off, shoulder into the jaw, slice. synthesis Training restriction, mine: the “can-opener” head pull is grip-transition pressure; do not escalate it into a neck crank.
- John Danaher
Motion to separate the feet, step a foot inside, two hands on the shoulders, punch an elbow back to your hip for the underhook.
- Bird Wiltse
Pull grips to open the underhook; underhook elbow-deep with the blade curled; heel to butt on the cutting leg. The snap-down is a pull, only when posture is already forward.
- Jon Thomas
Knock the wrist, deep step, underhook pulled high so it cannot be re-pummelled; lapel-first standing entry.
- Youssef Drihmi
Heels to put them back; the lapel “ringed”; sleeve held high; one foot in, one out; knee and elbow connected; pin the knee and replace it with your knee.
- Vitor “Shaolin” Ribeiro
Sit butt to heels, no lean; armpit on the arm until the butt drops; the hand posts only then; toes, knee to belly, hand under the armpit as the knee slides. Shown in the gi; he says he needs none of the fabric.

Counter to the butterfly sweep with an underhook already in: post the head first, then the foot, so you land wider; two posts beat one; when the base is back, jump back into the knee cut. synthesis Rehearse it with a partner who sweeps slowly before you trust it live.
- Jozef Chen
Frame on your knee: flare the elbow, switch knees, head to the far side; move over the remaining hook (moving away gives it strength); hand on hip, elbow on quad; step over or push the knee through into double unders. Finishes as near-side-underhook half guard toward mount.
- MMA Leech
Leg weave with your leg hooking theirs from the outside so an invert lands you in side control; post on the knee, lean, step the light leg in.
Smashfrom flat
- The Grapple Lab
Head below theirs makes it difficult for them to keep you off; hop over with an ankle grip; isolate a leg into over-under with a gi anchor; low body lock.
- Travis Stevens
Hand to the hip with the elbow on the inner thigh, knife across, cup the knee, use the hairline not the crown, kick back. Gi shown; he says it works for both.
- JT Torres
From the half-guard smash, walk the hips to the far hip and offer the hook; stuff the knee and mount when they lift.
- Roger Gracie
Half-butterfly, their hook still in: your outside leg hooks theirs, the shoulder turns the head, hips stay down, step over to mount.
- Brian Glick
From the knees: side body lock (push the knees, chest to the outside of the knee), over-under (forearm tips the knee down, heel to their butt), double scoop when they recline.
Floatprepared positions, not emergency reactions
- John Danaher
When no angle is available: one foot in the middle, float, arms for base, legs fight legs.
- Brian Glick
Head match, shoulder post, spear underhook, tripod, step over the knee line, shoelaces to shoelaces on the lift, back step, land posted with the head on the far shoulder. Gi: the pants grip at the knee is essential through the tripod, the knee clearance and the landing.
- Tarik
Headquarters, squat low; if the hips go high the hands are already on the ground; weight to the hands, hook their shin, take the underhook during the switch, throw the legs.
- Kenneth Brown
While floating, do not hip-switch on an angled lift; drive their knees toward their chest first, then switch.
- Firas Zahabi
Against double underhooks, a proactive strip: hip action, pummel the foot inside, knee to the sternum, collar tie, posture up.
- Gordon Ryan
A high tripod makes the legs weightless; pummel your leg to the inside when they pull one out for closed guard. Shelf, stuff, or split the legs.
Standingoff the hooks
- Chewjitsu
Cross-ankle grip with the arm locked straight; low, head and hands like a wrestler; cross-post on the far shoulder; run to reverse bullfighter and north-south; if defended you can work into half guard.
- Bird Wiltse
Wrestling stance, the “no touchy” game with your legs, four openings against a mid-posture seated player.
- Jon Thomas
Snap and run; going around can be easier against a posted hand.
- TeamMaxwell
Hook off, inside pants grip, leg drag. Gi: belt, pants and lapel grips, from close engagement.
- Jean Jacques Machado
Long-step trap: bait the arm, trap the elbow, block the leg, slide back, “I want him on his side.” When they hold your leg: step back so your hip is far from them, block the leg, bring them down.
- Chewjitsu
Surfboard pass: a technical stand-up forward into knee-on-belly.
- Lachlan Giles
Learn to pass standing; kneeling is defensively safe but hard to implement. Danaher: no-gi toreando grips are touch and go.
Counters and games
- Caio Terra
A rolling counter to the trapped-arm sweep, using your hook, at the moment they sweep.
- Rob Biernacki, on Stephan Kesting’s channel
The floating butterfly game: bottom keeps sticky hooks and knees to chest; top learns hip switches outside the knee line and high pummels; bottom lowers the difficulty as needed.

— 20 minutes · no-gi
Tonight
synthesis The session is the author's; the mechanics are Nicky's. Endpoint for the sequence: three seconds of controlled side control. Reset on a turn-away; the back is not taught tonight.
- 1
Entry and control
3 minRight hand inverted on the ankle, left hand collar tie, threaten the angle; partner squares up; elbows back, head to the shoulder, level change, long arm short arm. Freeze. Success here is the control position, not the pin: shoulder below their shoulder line, short elbow on the knee, feet wide. Swap at 90 seconds.
- 2
The whole spine, scripted posts
6 minCooperative partner gives both posts lightly on cue: inside your left knee at step 5, on your right knee at step 8. Steps 1 to 9 to the pin, alternating partners every rep.
- 3
Resistance and the gate
4 minSame two posts with real, controlled resistance, through to the pin. Then one minute each way of the gate: partner takes a 2-on-1 on your posting arm; you elevate the ankle and put them onto their back, or cut the angle. Nothing else.
- 4
Positional rounds
7 minSix one-minute rounds from seated butterfly, then one minute of feedback. Reset on a stabilized pin, a sweep, a stand-up, a turn-away, or a submission.
— after the round
Check first
synthesis The author's table. Outcomes have more than one cause; check these in order.
| It happened | Check first |
|---|---|
| Swept sideways from the lock | Was the short elbow on the knee, or did you lock in the middle? Did the hook stay live (hip not sprawled)? Did your shoulder rise above their shoulder line? |
| Guillotined | Was the neck already wrapped before you drove? Forehead on the chin or sternum with eyes up, or chin down? Gi: was a collar grip already on? |
| Arm dragged | Did a hand reach without control? Were the ankle grip and collar tie in place before the level change? |
| Pulled into closed guard from the lock | Did the short elbow stay connected to the knee so the foot could not escape outside your arm? |
| Lifted out of the lock | Did you come in too vertical? Did you bring the hips back down and re-flatten before you tried to pummel? |
| Stalled in half guard | Knee shield present? Underhook elbow-deep? Weight over the hook or away from it? Trapped foot freed with your own hook? |
| They stood up | Which leg was the bottom leg when they turned, and was it pinned? |
| Half guard came back after the finish | Did you windshield-wiper out and put the knee down, or leave the leg to be re-hooked? |
