The Modern Butterfly Guard No Gi
Jon Satava shares his approach on butterly guard as an attacking system and how to combine it with single leg x guards. It is about taking your opponent down by controlling either two on one on the arm and/or the head and get on top right away. It is about start seated vs standing/kneeling or seated vs seated. Sweep and submit or transition to sweep for setting up the submission. Great details on his approach and technical applications. Highly recommend

I have short and thick legs. Closed guard isn't so good for me. Been many practicing these and think I've found my guard game.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗This is the butterfly guard instructional to buy
This is my go-to Butterfly Guard instructional. It's to the point, not much fluff, can re-watch the techniques I am trying to master. Expertly taught by Jon Satava. It's really probably the only one you will need on this topic.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗The modern butterfly guard no gi
Awesome instructional covering the butterfly guard. It’s extremely easy to follow and very thorough. Very highly recommended
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻The best no gi butterfly instructional
Satava's butterfly instructional takes you from stance to grips to sweeps to attacks in a guided way that begins with foundational content and adds layers of complexity. It's a far more complete product than Marcelo Garcia's, and has a stronger emphasis on basics than Wardzinski's. Satava is a gifted educator.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Very good instructional
Very good instructional
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Exactly what I was looking for !
I have always struggled with implementing butterfly card effectively – basically I would always find myself getting my legs thrown over my head, or I would get body locked and passed. In the very first part of this instructional he goes over some really good techniques just for keeping yourself safe in butterfly card which I was immediately able to easily implement to address/avoid those issues ! And then further on he goes over some great grips and attacks that flow together really well. Both the specific techniques and the general concepts are so helpful ! Butterfly went from being something I absolutely avoided to one of my go to guards- even against larger opponents. I 100% recommend this instructional !
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great Course

I have tried other butterfly instructionals but I feel that this one has helped me the most in developing key concepts for the position. Jon does a great job not only explaining what to do with the various upper body connections but also how to get to them.
