Transitioning from Butterfly Guard to X-Guard Sweep:
- Start in Butterfly Guard, ensuring you prevent your opponent from controlling your neck by pushing their hand away.
- Bend one knee and place one arm between the opponent's legs, with the other arm wrapping around their hips.
- Pull the opponent towards you, slightly lifting them, and slide your hand to control their ankle.
- Lift the opponent to transition into X-Guard, securing their leg and controlling their wrist with your free hand.
- Place your right hand on top of the opponent's neck and position your left foot on the outside, toes pointing out.
- Lift the opponent while simultaneously pulling their head down with your right hand.
- Roll over your shoulder, following through with the motion to come on top.
- Finish the sweep by keeping your knee between the opponent's legs, positioning yourself to pass their guard.
