Butterfly Guard Elevation Drill

From a seated butterfly guard, the practitioner secures body lock underhooks, falls to their back to elevate the partner with butterfly hooks, and returns to seated position without executing the final sweep; explicitly prescribed for 20 repetitions in the video audio.

Key points

  • Clasp hands tightly around the partner's torso using double underhooks
  • Roll back onto the shoulders while extending butterfly hooks upward to lift the partner's hips
  • Return the partner down with control and reset immediately to seated guard

Common mistakes

Kicking too far to one side and prematurely dumping the partner instead of elevating straight up with control.
