The OG
Marcelo Garcia ...well he speaks for himself. Truly one of the best ever. Even as things in bjj progress or change and many techniques become outdated the concept and mindset doesn't change. Marcelo will always offer something substantial to learn. Thank you for the great videos.
A Champion's Butterfly Guard
One of the greatest to ever compete, his butterfly and X guards remain unmatched in the 77 and 82kg classes. Marcelo provides excellent, clear instruction and showcases flawless technique. My butterfly guard has already improved thanks to watching this.
Must Have
Butterfly guard is a critical component for sweeps and transitions to X-guard, single leg X, deep half. Marcelo makes it easy to understand for beginners and advanced practitioners.
Great
Doesn't get any better

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Phenomenal instructional
Really great content from MG that helped my game immensely.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗MG's the GOAT
I like the technical instruction but what I like most is how MG teaches technique in the context of a match, addressing realistically the energy and movement a resisting opponent will give you. He doesn't just walk through the technique step by step but dynamically demonstrates the technique with movement and resistance. Subtitles were very helpful as well. My sweeps have improved 50% in just a few months because of the mindset and strategic details.

Amazing instructional from one of the all time greats
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Marcelo the GOAT
Very clear instruction from the nicest greatest jiujitero ever to do it. Bless him!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great variety of options
In this video Marcelo gives you a vast number of options for sweeps and some attacks from Butterfly Guard. Since he explains in detail why certain setups happen and how to take advantage of them or provoke them, I found the video great to gradually improve my own technique little by little, trying bits and pieces one after the other training session.
Top-notch
Everything Marcelo brings out is pure gold. I recommend using his book about the x guard (including the butterfly guard) parallel.
Learning with the best
Amazing! Classic guard made by the master.
Great techniques

Learn butterfly from the best in the world
Marcelo Garcia's butterfly guard is legendary, and he's one of the best coaches in the world. If you have any interest in butterfly, you need this. This course is relatively short and straightforward, but the way Marcelo explains the techniques is nevertheless very illuminating. Highly, highly recommend, especially if you have interest in MMA grappling- this isn't an MMA-specific course, but the techniques shown are absolutely lethal.
Satisfied client
As a client I am very gratefull for the content that si provided by BJJ Fanatics.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗great instructional from one of
great instructional from one of the GOAT. It opens me up to all kind of possibilities from the open guard!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great concepts
Great information! I love butterfly guard and this has really given so much more to think about, can't wait to start utilising this into my game!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Butterfly mastery
Some think that Marcelo was blessed with blindingly fast reflexes and the hand-fighting of a god, but the reality is he drilled these techniques endlessly until he could execute them without hesitation. For beginners I'd put this after Satava's Butterfly Guard video, which is clearer and shows more fundamentals, but for mastery... watch the master.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🔥great
great
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Excellent quality.
The quality of this course is excellent but would be beneficial to see an option where the opponent is staying Kneeling on 1 leg and the other bent like on a squat if you know what I mean, in my humble opinion.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Very hekpful
Great video!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻it's okay but somes I don't understand
it'd hard watching without subtitles I can't understand him with some words but other than that I love this instructional
