The reviews
Excellent coverage
Well explained and many techniques from the butterfly guard, not just sweeps but attacks.
The Best
Jon Satava is a fantastic teacher. This instructional has had a huge impact on my game. One of the few teachers on here who still competes regularly, so it's been great to study his instructionals and his competition footage. Highly recomended!

butterfly
Butterfly guard is a fundamental technique, but it can be used effectively in both Gi and No-Gi. I chose this course because I want to learn advanced-level techniques beyond the basics. The descriptions of the techniques are excellent, and I can frequently use them in sparring.

great butterfly program
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great concepts and techniques! Easy to understand!
Jon is an excellent instructor and might be a little underrated as far as instructors on BJJ Fanatics. I would love to see more material from him. He has an extensive competition history and uses the butterfly guard successfully at the highest level so you know you can trust his insight on this position.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Easy to understand moves, concepts
Easy to understand moves, concepts and strategies. I was able to use multiple sweeps effectively almost immediately after watching this.

Extremely effective and understandable instruction. He doesn’t overwhelm you with minutiae, and all of these techniques are ones that work at all levels.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Butterfly is fun
Nice details broken done clearly
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻The best introduction to butterfly!!
Struggled to understand butterfly guard till this instructional. Clear breakdown of how to elevate for sweeps. Full examples from each major grip strategy. No longer get stuck with no moves when blocked from a specific position.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great instructional, everything was laid
Great instructional, everything was laid out in a logical easy to follow manner. Was able to take concepts learned and immediately put them to use. Would definitely recommend this instructional.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Pecfect Guide for all Levels
A Great Butterfly Guard instructional. Highly recommended!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Wonderful video
Professor Satava's break down of the butterfly guard is excellent. I am new to Jiu Jitsu and a white belt, but this is highly accessible content. I may not be using any of this for a little while, however I feel like it's setting me up for great success! Thanks Jon Satava and BJJ fanatics
By far the best instructions and easiest to understand!
Everyone will always tell you the basics are the best moves to learn and they are usually what works best in competition. In my opinion its best to learn from the people that can make the same move work over and over again even when their opponent knows its coming. Jon's instructions make learning so easy. He is very clear and detailed oriented. There's so many amazing details that make all the difference in actually landing the move. Jon is by far one of the best instructors not just in New York but on the planet.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Excellent intro to butterfly guard
Jon Satava is easily one of the most underrated instructors on this site. This instructional is clear, concise, and has been incredibly helpful with adding butterfly guard to my game. I've tried to use a few different instructionals to help me understand butterfly guard but none have explained the underlying concepts of it as well as Jon does, especially when trying to apply it to the gi. Love these techniques and can't wait for more from Jon!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Fantastic butterfly instructional
Excellent details and principles for playing butterfly guard. The underlying concepts and gripping strategies are deceptively simple but lead to sweeping people with a lot of success. Can't wait for more from Satava, hopefully gi single leg x/x guard next?
Butterfly Guard in the Gi Review
Satava's details do not disappoint. He is one of the best butterfly guard players and has a wealth of knowledge you can apply to your game. This instructional has a different approach due to the camerawork for a change and it's refreshing to see the details. I believe it is important not to keep long shots but also include these cut shots to see different details of the technique. Was impressed with this production. A must have for anyone who wants to learn the butterfly!
