Setup: Lockdown Position

The Super Stomp series begins from the lockdown position in half guard. The top player has already established an underhook, which the bottom player will use to their advantage by transitioning into an overhook with the opposite arm.

Hand Placement: Overhook and Pimp Arm

The bottom player secures an overhook with their left hand while positioning their right hand in a palm-up pimp arm on the opponent's knee. This palm-up grip prevents wrist injury if the opponent attempts to move their knee away from the control point.

The Stomp Sequence: Pre-Stomp, Stomp, Super Stomp

From the established hand positions, the bottom player executes three sequential foot movements: a pre-stomp with the right foot to the opponent's heel, a stomp with the left foot to establish butterfly position, and a super stomp with the right foot to secure the bottom player's leg placement. This three-part sequence prevents the opponent from passing guard.

Transition to Butterfly Guard

After the stomp sequence, the bottom player kicks away with their left leg while straightening and bringing their right leg inside, then sits up explosively. The opponent simultaneously sits up onto their heels to defend against sweep attempts from the butterfly position.

Achieving the 50/50 Position (Kookoo)

The bottom player ends in a strong 50/50 guard configuration with their head positioned on the overhook side, preventing the opponent from pushing them away. An underhook is established with the opposite arm, creating a mechanically sound defensive structure where the opponent's pass options are severely limited.

Positional Advantages and Mutual Defense

In the final butterfly position, the bottom player's hips remain set back behind their torso to create a stable base against opponent pressure. Both players benefit from maintaining an elevated, heels-up posture: the opponent reduces sweep vulnerability while the bottom player maximizes their positional leverage.
