Butterfly Guard | Long Step

Executing a long step pass against an opponent transitioning from a lying to a sitting position in butterfly guard involves precise timing and specific grips. As the opponent sits up, immediately lower your level and position your forehead under theirs while securing a grip on their shoulder with one hand and their knee with the other. As you grab, drop your knee to the mat and execute a long step, maintaining control of their knee. Push the knee across to flatten their hips and transition into side control, ensuring to stabilize the position.

1. Anticipate the opponent's transition from lying to sitting in butterfly guard.
2. Lower your level and place your forehead under the opponent's torso as they sit up.
3. Simultaneously grab the opponent's shoulder and knee.
4. Drop your knee to the mat and perform a long step pass.
5. Keep control of the opponent's knee and push it across to flatten their hips.
6. Walk towards side control and stabilize the position.
