Great content from the GOAT, highly recommended
expensive, but great
I love Marcelo and his butterfly game is unmatched. I was hoping this would provide structure to my drilling/classes. WhileI found the overall concepts to be covered in depth the actual application of the move or drills to use were left more to the viewers imagination. I would recommend this for someone who already plays butterfly guard and has had some success on the mats with it.
Very clear and practical instructional
This has been one of the most useful instructionals that I keep going back to and always come away with another adjustment to improve my sweeps from butterfly guard.
Good instructional for learning how to apply butterfly
Good

ageless content from the best no gi grappler. great instructor!
Worth watching to improve butterfly guard. Easy digestible breakdowns
Una guardia complicada pero muy polivalente tanto para raspar como para atacar.
Great explanation. Easy to follow
Would recommend
Great instructional for no gi butterfly guard. Tons of details and options to implement Marcelo’s signature butterfly sweeps into your game.
Very clear and easy to follow. You do have to make adjustments for certain positions to work for your body type but general principles are super solid for both Gi and NoGi

the master
A detailed explanation of the butterfly guard from one of the greatest champions to ever step on the mat! Marcelo does a great job in explaining how he enters, sets his various grips and combines sweeps with submission attacks from the butterfly guard. He also provides great insights into some of the strategies of why he uses the different grips and setups which I found really beneficial!
Nice concepts and easy to understand. Simple and effective.
Very good explain for all sweep from buuterfly but maybe ad a couple aof submission from this amazing guard.

Marcelo gives you a great foundation to understanding the butterfly guard that leads into more advanced moves at the end of the instructional.

Another outstanding Instructional! Great Introduction to Butterfly guard.
Great details and easy to apply!
Immediately changed my game for the better.
Muito bom o curso, mas falta mais repetição e detalhes nos movimentos.
watch and rewatch
the goat
It was a good introduction to butterfly guard.
I appreciate the attention to detail and whole picture approach Marcelo Garcia has in this instructional. As a smaller guy (~150lbs) I find these techniques useful even against larger opponents. I also appreciate his insights about connecting these techniques to single leg x, back takes, and follow up movements. Has seriously helped my BJJ and prepared me to take even more away from Butterfly lessons in my own gym.
New details on an old position
excellent details, well put together. a lot of little things other videos on butterfly guard don't have. fantastic
I have watched Marcelo's matches multiple times and his incorporation of the butterfly guard is something which stands out to me. These techniques have been a great addition to my game.
Closing the distance
Have significantly improved my success with butterfly sweeps after studying and implementing Marcelo’s teaching.
Supergood!!
So many great techniques in this!
