Position roadmap
Half guard
Where a butterfly pass lands. Small guard, knees close — half guard treated as its own honest problem.
Survival
Knees-to-chest bottom work
From half-guard bottom, knees to the chest to deny the crossface and the flattening — the compact base that survives the pass.
Knees-to-chest rule
The same rule the moment you land in half — small guard, knees close, nothing thrown at the chest.
Escapes
Coming soon.
Transitions
Pass to half, not to mount
You do not pass butterfly to mount. You pass to half guard — then half is its own honest problem.
Submissions
Coming soon.
