7 videosWhat Instructors Say
The butterfly pass encompasses multiple technical approaches, with instructors emphasizing both positional control principles and specific passing sequences. Strong Hold Jiu Jitsu establishes foundational strategy by recommending simply standing up to avoid the guard entirely, then details four primary passes: the toriando smash pass (inside grip, turning hand, driving shoulder into belly), the spike pass (grip to hip with options to keep opponent flat or force rotation), the X pass (collar and outside knee grip with a juke step before the crossing leg movement), and the corkscrew pass (underhook of pants cuff with head-to-shoulder positioning before spinning). BJJ Vault's Brad Jackson focuses on shutting down the opponent's ability to execute hook sweeps by pinching the knees together and driving hips forward, then demonstrates a pass that slots the leg while maintaining collar control, finishing in knee-on-belly. Chewjitsu presents the surfboard pass, which repurposes the technical stand-up movement by lifting the body and sliding a leg over the opponent's leg into knee-on-belly position, requiring hand-fighting setup and precise leg placement. Brian Glick addresses passing from the knees with three variations: the side body lock (pushing knees inside, creating chest pressure, walking knees forward), the over-under pass (using forearm pressure to prevent triangles while clearing the knee line), and the double scoop pass (underhook from both sides with hip-to-hip contact and stacking). All instructors agree on controlling the opponent's leg positioning and using body weight to prevent escape.

Notes
Butterfly Pass противодейства на пеперудовата защита чрез притискане на една от куките на противника към килима и пробиване — премахвайки заплахата от повдигане. Изисква предварително спечелване на битката за поддрамкова позиция. (Ribeiro, Jiu-Jitsu University; Danaher, Guard Passing series)
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I prevent my opponent from sitting up when I'm in the butterfly pass?
Close your legs by pinching your knees together and bringing your opponent's ankles as close as possible, then put your hips forward. BJJ Vault emphasizes that this traps them in position and prevents them from getting up.
What should I grab to control my opponent during the butterfly pass?
Grab their collar with one hand and hold their leg with the other hand. BJJ Vault notes that grabbing the collar prevents them from standing up and shaking you off, as the weight transfers to their neck instead of their shoulder.
What's the key to sweeping from butterfly guard without getting passed?
Get a deep underhook with your shoulder underneath their armpit and pull their arm (preferably the tricep) to your body so they can't post. Jordan Teaches Jiujitsu emphasizes that you need to bring their butt off their heels by connecting your bodies with the underhook so 'where you go, they go.'
How do I set up the butterfly pass when my opponent is chasing my movement?
Pop up on your foot toward the direction you want to pass, hand fight on the inside of their arm while walking to the opposite side, then as they chase you, bend and lift to slide your leg over theirs. Chewjitsu notes this pass requires practice but is smooth and effective when executed properly.
