Bad Half Butterfly Guard (Pass Prevention)

http://www.aesopian.com/

There's a good half butterfly guard and a bad one. Here are three ways to recover as they try to pass. 1) Shrimping hook return. 2) Bridging hook return. 3) Shrimp to crucifix.

Ive been watching and liking your videos. Just curious what belt are you and from what Ive understood you are the head instructor at 10th Planet Burbank?

I teach at Gracie Barra Clearwater, FL under Eduardo de Lima. Not a 10th Planet guy.

Yes, but there are ways to prevent the triangle as you are stacking. You could use the arm that is on the side of the hooked leg to block or pull it out, and you could posture up as bottom guy goes for the triangle.

[GoldenRuffian]

@MbisonBalrog At that point the bottom guy really could triangle because his butterfly hook isn't trapped. Also, from there (a triangle attempt), you can perform a omoplata on the shoulder that is inside the triangle.

Alternatively, the bottom guy could roll back (while being stacked) onto his knees and put this into a neutral position; neither of which you want as the top man.

[MbisonBalrog]

Actually, if you have am arm underneath and grasping one leg, wouldnt you just stack that leg to pass, instead of passing on the side with the hooked leg?
