Butterfly guard to Heel Hook Sweep (Marcelo Garcia)

This is another video from Marcelos site...

When you can not get an underhook in butterfly guard....either grab your opp's wrists or his gi top and sit straight back, and by using your butterfly hooks and lift him up over you. You will now be supporting all his weight.

Now kick one of your legs underneath him and wrap it around his leg placing your foot on his hip (standard heel hook position) with your other leg pinching the other side of your opps leg. now normally if you wanted to finish the heel hook you would reach back and attack the heel but we are looking to sweep from here. So you are going to reach around your outside leg with your hand and hold your opp's leg (this makes sure you have a solid hold on his leg and he can not pull it out)

From here you are going to work for the sweep....

First you are going to drive his knee outwards pretending to look for the sweep. He will normally be ready for this so you are going to immediately roll back the other way to make him think you want to sweep him forward.....when he responds to that you immediately go back to turning his knee outward to get the sweep. So it is basically a 1, 2, 3 type of thing. Or fake, fake, sweep! Or back, forward, back! However you want to look at it.

Sometimes the guys is taller than you or has incredible balance and when you turn his knee outwards he will keep stepping back. However, to do this he must spread his feet really wide. So simply threaten to sweep him foward again (which would be like doing 1, 2, 3, 4 or back, fwd, back, fwd.

Now that is being threatened to be swept fwd he will step his free leg up towards your head. Simply reach around his foot and hold his heel (u now have control of both of his feet) so from here simply push him back onto this ass.

**Remember when u get off from an X guard sweep (or most sweeps) control his feet (or grab his pants) to keep his feet off the ground - this way he cant stand up and get into a scramble.
