About this video
When recovering from a supine butterfly guard, it's crucial to sit up intelligently to avoid giving up body locks. Here's how to execute a basic forward shift and a forward shift with a bicycle kick:
- From the supine butterfly guard, control your opponent's elbows, pulling them away from their body.
- Execute a forward shift, making very active hooks with your heels pointed in and toes pointed out.
- Load your opponent's body weight. Once their weight is loaded, it will be easier to sit them up and send them out by framing the bicep.
- If you're having trouble sitting them up on the first try, load their weight again and start bicycle kicking. Lower your hooks down towards their knees to widen their base and stretch them out. This will take away their knee pinch and make it easier for you to sit up.
- Every time you sit up, ensure to frame the biceps. From here, you can start looking to execute your attacks from the seated guard.
- Remember not to sit up by putting your hands to the floor or digging under a hook as this will trap your own arm. Instead, create a V shape with your feet, bring your knees to your chest, and pull your opponent's elbows to sit them up.
