About this video
Entering the folding pass from the butterfly guard begins with establishing two collar grips. To secure these grips, insert your thumbs inside the collars and roll the lapels out, creating a slight torque in your opponent's lower back and spine. This position allows you to feel your partner's movements as you shift side to side.
- Start by making contact with your partner's shins using your shoulders and chest, while maintaining the two collar grips.
- Move to one side, prompting your partner to resist and push back towards the opposite side.
- As your partner resists, initiate a forearm club in the direction you initially moved away from, pulling up your weight and clubbing as your partner starts to move.
- After the forearm club, maintain the collar grip or switch to gripping the lower back to initiate a forearm staple.
- With the forearm staple in place, you can begin the pass. Ensure your body is outside of your partner's legs to effectively contain them together.
- If your partner tries to push you away with their knees, steer and shuffle over, securing a grip on the back side and connecting your kneecap to the back of their hamstrings.
- From here, you can apply a forearm staple or use a C-grip to pass the elbow.
It's crucial to make contact with the opponent's shins with your shoulders to prevent them from pushing you away. Approach the butterfly guard by placing two hands on the front of their thighs, shrugging your shoulders up to grab the collars. Drive into them and bring them to one side, and if they resist, drop your grip, rotate, shoulder roll, and complete the pass.
