How A BJJ Pro Plays Half Butterfly Guard (Submit Everyone)

[@hamburglar2722]

Great instructional, thank you Josh. I'm a new white belt and almost always end up being taken down and forced to play bottom half guard and trying to survive. This butterfly guard system will help me give my sparring partners a few surprises.

[@driftFD]

the ending was hysterical

[@aplus1080]

Yeah if you're 13, that was god tier. As an actual adult, it's a little fucked up to see that joke from a legit instructor.

[@driftFD]

@aplus1080 no one gives a shit

[@kenn3250]

You're a MF content machine Josh, fair play to you. What's even better is it's actually good content!

[@vincechanbjj]

such a simple but important detail that I never knew ; go for the leg and they leave their upper body for the underhook.

[@CHRISTICAUTION]

Great stuff. Can you show a full potential leg entry you threaten with?

[@nickmills8476]

This is getting to be a science

[@alvarocorral1576]

I dig it!

[@FBAMaroon]

Great details and literacy of jujitsu my guy 🔥

[@nickcalash151]

I really love your content. I'd really like to hear your opinion on the choi bar, because theres definitely a ton of opportunities for it in this sequence.

[@rapp3090]

Awesome stuff as usual. Thanks.

[@homeswithjp]

I used to hate this dude but the mor ei watch him the more i realize his bjj is solid af

[@Nickyt-g8n]

Good coaching

[@salahmarzouk9637]

Dude U r so good

[@Juan-mo4ei]

Amazing🔥🔥

[@tomjoseph-sparks3179]

what over rap enteries would you go for - SLX?

[@masterreddit5520]

What are some things to do with the overwrap on the leg if they don't pull it back?

[@ManMadeChirps]

Enter ashi on overwrap leg

[@yannmoyes2493]

Cross lat grip to push them away and enter SLX on the leg

[@HPUcoaching]

Correct 👍🏻 @yannmoyes2493

[@frazzle657]

I hope this glitch doesnt get patched before i get to abuse it

[@I_Thumos_I]

Love these sequences. When you first grab the overwrap on the leg to try and force the sprawl reaction, what is stopping them from grabbing a crossface with that far arm at that point?

[@HPUcoaching]

Nothing, but it’s a bad idea to crossface in a half butterfly as it’s an easy leg entry

[@wprotopappas]

Hmm, why not underhook of the leg?

[@aplus1080]

? At the start? He says he threatens that to get them to pull their leg away so he can attack upper body.

[@JasonPenafiel-dq4sk]

Question: 1. Why an overwrap over a underscoop on the far leg? Most of the youtube videos i have seen for leg entries on half butterfly use an underscoop so im interested to know if the overwrap is better. My problem with the underscoop is that they sit on my arm to trap it and prevent me going for the choi bar when they do the cross face.

[@joanymartinez6501]

Thats why you overhook. You’re not going for a leg entry its just a bait to get access to double unders

[@JasonPenafiel-dq4sk]

@@joanymartinez6501 Hi thanks for clarifying. I have been trying to find a video of an overwrap leg entry but no luck so far. The reason why is because if Im doing it for bait, i need to atleast have an actual legitimate move with the overwrap to "sell" it. Hopefully Josh replies to this question.

[@TyrusKerr]

He responded to another comment about cross facing half butterfly leads to leg entries idk ab the overwrap

[@JasonPenafiel-dq4sk]

Im not sure if this is the full answer but i think i found it. Less impressed More involved has a video on it. He calls it an overclasp. He is saying it prevents backtake counters when going for the legs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bICYpaajeZplp6s

[@trill2400]

Are you sure? My go to is pulling mount😂

[@NoLimitMMA]

Are you based in UK?

[@thehoax66]

Can you do counter from K guard like your opponent pulls half guard with knee shield then try's to leg lock ya or sweep I hate this position usually they will also either use knee shield or single leg butterfly guard on one leg then they rape your legs so tired of this new bullshit people just diving for leg locks and being passive from knee shield to K guard

[@ChickenAndACanOfCoke]

Gingers can be useful ❤

[@olie567]

body lock pass

[@chtevkaras6422]

What you said at 1:10 that is absolutely not true against experienced and aggressive opponents/partners. They will circle, go over, blast through, combat base and do all manner of things. All the techniques from there onward are great, but the entry that enables them not so much. Maybe the focus of the video is on the follow ups but the entry is equally important.

[@mmayass]

How do you use that overwrap?

[@MrMultifunc]

What would you call a gaurd with 1 butterfly hook and the other leg more like closed guard?

[@JasonPenafiel-dq4sk]

that kinda sounds like K guard

[@TheOnlineMarket]

3/4 guard

[@trill2400]

Butterfly half

[@Seegie16]

Just curios why you call certain moves the japanese terms when your students speak english. Just a FYI, the Japanese named the moves like the triangle, d=sangaku, which means triangle. So it wouldnt be bad translating the japanese terms to engish, that way the teaching makes more sense to your students. You dont have to be a carbon copy of Danaher, Gordon you know

[@Darkwinkie]

I pretty sure the Japanese names are more common than the English ones

[@jekt1955]

Relax my brather... It's just names...

[@b4dmaash]

Because they all speak Japanese

[@frazzle657]

Everyone I've watched that teaches uses the most common term for it. Not just danger and Gordon... But yer it's a bit of a weird concept really, I'm sure with time it fades
