Transitioning from Butterfly Guard to X-Guard Sweep:

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