Transitioning to the back from Butterfly Guard:
- Start in Butterfly Guard with both feet between the opponent's legs, keeping your feet flexed for better control and leverage.
- When the opponent tries to control your neck, reciprocate by controlling their neck as well.
- Place your left hand under their triceps or around their neck on the same side you will execute the move.
- As you elevate your opponent, keep one foot inside between their legs and place the other foot outside.
- Slide your feet forward to initiate the elevation and maintain the inside foot to control the movement.
- Apply a belt grip and move your feet slightly to the side to prepare for the transition.
- After lifting the opponent, place your feet on top of theirs to control their leg movement.
- Force their feet down or to the side to off-balance them and facilitate the transition to the back.
- Connect your hands together and place your left foot on the ground to escape the triceps and position your feet beside their triceps.
- Push the opponent slightly down and then push them to the other side to complete the transition to their back.
