One of my favorite positions in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu is X Guard and Single X Guard.

It ties right along with my Half Guard too which I consider my best position.

In this video I answer a question from out friend who is wanting to look at some entries into X Guard.

And before I get into the X Guard position itself. I want to stress the importance of Entries for our BJJ games.

Oftentimes people look for the cool sweeps, guard passes, submissions, etc but then they forget about the entries to get there.

Consider entries the starting point for any position or set of techniques in Brazilian Jiujitsu.

Now in this video I show a simple way to get to X Guard from a Half Butterfly Guard.

I use this a lot if I’m struggling to get the Half Guard working for me on bottom.

Give the entry a try and see how it works for you!

The Butterfly Guard can be a tough position to deal with if you’re a Guard Passer.

In a recent video where I was training with several tough Black Belts. I passed the Butterfly Guard.

In response to this video where I was passing. A lot of you were curious about how to stop the position.

In this video I show how to stop the sweeps and dismantle the Butterfly Guard position by a few specific adjustments.

The 1st being that I need to go to the opposite side that they are attacking. This will kill their position.

Next to hold them in a bad spot. I use my head as a post against their neck. This is a underutilized grip that does a great job of keeping people flat.

Using the head is such an underutilized grip for most people in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu.

From there I talk about how to pass briefly. While I don’t dive into it too deeply. If you’re able to control position in BJJ. The sweeps, submissions and passes come much easier.

So if you’re struggling to pass butterfly guard in Brazilian Jiujitsu. Try the tips I include in this video to stop the effectiveness of the position.

Professor Gustavo Gasperin breaks down how Gordon Ryan swept the great Josh Barnett with a butterfly hook sweep.

Butterfly guard can be tricky to work against, so it pays off to be trickier. 🙂

I came up with this pass LONG time ago. I don’t know the exact moment at time, but I just know at some point I started doing this and teaching it.

I have never seen anyone else do this, and I have had a lot of success using it. Sometimes you can jump a quick arm bar, but at the very least you will have knee on belly. It’s great because you take advantage of everyone’s natural tendency to hold on to your head.

Note: Jitseasy calls this the “Steering Wheel Pass” because this pass is very similar to it though applied with the Gi

Butterfly guard can be a very dangerous guard to work against. There are a lot of submissions, sweeps, and stand up opportunities for the bottom player.

That is why you want to cut the wings of that butterfly as quickly as possible.

The best way of doing that is by using the Hook Switch. This is when you remove one hook and pass their other hook to your outside hip. This puts them in a really bad spot that you can then pass with ease.
