Grip Establishment and Breaking

The practitioner begins by establishing control against an opponent holding the lapels. Using a pistol grip on one sleeve, the free hand grabs the practitioner's own wrist to break the opponent's grip. The controlled arm is then positioned underneath the wrist to prevent re-gripping, while the free hand controls the opponent's elbow.

Posture Breaking and Base Elimination

Leg pressure is applied to pull the opponent forward and break their posture, removing weight from their thighs and making their legs lighter. This creates the necessary space to transition from closed guard to butterfly guard.

Establishing Butterfly Hooks

The practitioner uses a grapevine motion on each side to stretch the opponent's knees away from their body. One foot hooks inside the opponent's lap, followed by the second hook on the opposite side, creating a secure butterfly guard position.

Seated Position Control and Arm Trap

From the seated butterfly guard, the far-side arm swims underneath the opponent's arm to grip behind the jacket. The trapped arm is secured by controlling the belt and using elbow pressure to prevent the opponent from freeing themselves.

Variation One: Traditional Mount Transition

The practitioner rocks backward while maintaining the arm trap, executing an underhook on the far side and overhook on the near side while gripping the belt. This coordinated movement flips the opponent into mount position.

Variation Two: Grip Breaking Without Space

When the opponent's forearm blocks the chest, preventing grip removal, the practitioner uses five fingers or an open palm to peel the opponent's grip from the gi. The technique then continues with the same posture break, hook placement, and arm control sequence.

Variation Three: Countering the Mat Post

If the opponent posts their hand on the mat while the practitioner attempts the transition, the free hand pushes the opponent's posted arm into their body to eliminate the base. The practitioner then turns their feet inward, rolls to the shoulder, and kicks the opponent over into knee on belly position.

Heavy Opponent Adjustment

For larger opponents, the practitioner pulls them forward before pushing them away, creating momentum for the sweep. A chest and hip connection is maintained while rotating and kicking over into knee on belly position.
