Sitting Butterfly Guard Connecting From Collar Sleeve

Connecting to the butterfly guard from a standing position:

1. Begin by sitting guard rather than pulling guard. Ensure you have a grip, similar to pulling to collar and sleeve or De La Riva.
2. Make a cross collar grip, post your hand, and fold your leg underneath your butt. Sit down and away from your opponent.
3. To connect to the butterfly guard, pull yourself close to your opponent and scoot in. Bring both hooks behind their legs.
4. From this position, you have transitions to standard ashi, X-guard, or other positions where you are underneath your opponent.
5. Repeat the process: one foot forward, one foot back, reach for the collar, post the hand, and fold your leg as you sit down.
6. Immediately pull yourself in, getting both feet inside your opponent's knees. Use your left hand to grab their ankle to prevent them from walking away.
7. Switch to the ankle grip from the collar and sleeve to maintain control and pummel your feet behind the bend of their knees.
