@Dangelo Dario Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@ishaanandrew7629]

@Dangelo Dario It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thanks so much you really help me out!

[@dangelodario716]

@Ishaan Andrew No problem :D

This was an excellent video. The more and more I experiment with this guard the more I like it. Thank you for giving me a foundation to build upon

[@Jasonboyee]

It is also one of my favorite guards because of the versatility. You can also alway use it to kick up and out and sit-up into a full butterfly guard. Strong control indeed.

[@DECEPTIONINDICATED]

Great video! I play the half butterfly all the time. I am not as dangerous from there as I want to be. I am glad I found a channel that will focus on this area.

[@jw4jung]

wow literallly you are mentioning everything i am struggling!!! seriously the best fundamental video on youtube!!

[@aaronbenzrihembjj6014]

jaewon jung thanks so much! I really appreciate it!

[@jw4jung]

@@aaronbenzrihembjj6014 would you recommend this against standing opponents? im struggling at even pulling this guard against standing opponents. OR maybe i should use different guard against a standing opponent..?

[@aaronbenzrihembjj6014]

jaewon jung half butterfly is a good guard for opponents who are trying to pressure in and smash. Against a standing opponent a traditional butterfly, shin to shin, single leg x or DLR are my favorite things.

[@nicocontreras5366]

I loved it, I wanted to buy your DVD about this but I have to stop for a while. The botton keg action is something I was ignoring. Thank´s-

[@BJJandBS]

Love half butterfly. Been working on this a lot lately. Good vids Aaron.

[@jonathanjakubowski8537]

grigelkotten thanks so much!

[@unsungSwissHero]

Will give this some months to grow on me. Thank you so much for this content! What an amazing way to start the new year 🥳 😃 I'll give this a top spot in my learning chain (even before the lapel guard stuff)!

[@marklawrencebautista6696]

great content! half guard fly sweeps and submissions next please.. 😊

[@karlitozwei]

I've been having major issues with this half-guard and you pointed out several control points I was not even aware of. Thank you and just subscribed!

[@aaronbenzrihembjj6014]

That’s awesome! Thanks for the support!

[@JoeRocco6673]

Another good one.....I especially like it cause it can be used in Gi & NoGi. Keep them coming. OSS!!!

[@leadteks]

your videos are really good....pls more!

[@pr7293]

love your videos! Can you please do a video on how to pass deep DLR? I always get swept from that position...

[@snapdownbrah3988]

What is your typical response to someone smashing the butterfly hook? Similar to someone smashing the knee shield down.

[@aaronbenzrihembjj6014]

S M depends, it’s pretty hard to do if you’re active and framing well but if they do there are a couple things I do. I can attempt to go to single leg x if I still have inside leg control, I can switch my hips and recompose butterfly on the other side or frame and scramble back to a regular butterfly

[@betonbetona]

And now how to pass that guard pls 😀

[@aaronbenzrihembjj6014]

Edin Selmanagić soon!

[@vincechanhealthy6373]

is there a name for the sweep where you grab his gi and pant leg and pull him over? (not the hook sweep)

[@sovannpen]

5:50 looks like a version of John Wayne or knee lever sweep.
