🦋 One Butterfly Hook Can Change Everything

When playing top half guard, bringing your arm over your opponent’s head can be a very effective way to control your opponent. But like every position in Jiu-Jitsu, it also creates opportunities for your opponent if they know what to look for.

In this video, I break down how I use a butterfly hook from half guard to work underneath my opponent’s hips when they reach over my head. By creating that angle and elevation, I can begin recovering the guard which opens up a path to the back. 🔥

One of my favorite things about Jiu-Jitsu is that every move has pros and cons. Understanding those reactions is what turns good techniques into effective systems.

Give it a try and let me know what you think! 👇

🔒 Do you also have short legs for body triangles?

In this sequence, I attack the arm lock from the Kimura grip, but when the finish isn’t there, it creates a clean transition to the back 🔄 A big part of good Jiu-Jitsu is understanding how to flow between attacks instead of forcing a finish that’s no longer there.

Once on the back, I use a lot of “half back” control. I’ve got shorter legs, so locking a traditional body triangle can sometimes be tougher for me depending on the opponent 😅 Because of that, half back has become one of my favorite ways to control the hips, limit movement, and maintain strong back control while still staying tight to my opponent 🔥

Sometimes the best adjustments come from building a game around your body type instead of fighting against it 💯

Do you prefer the body triangle or half back control when attacking the back? 👇

Here are some ways to challenge that kimura grip—making it a little easier to slip out, tilting the odds in your favor. 🎯 Let’s raise those percentages! 📈

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted on this page — but one thing that never stopped was the training.

Over the years I’ve continued learning, teaching, evolving, and refining my approach to Jiu Jitsu. The deeper I’ve gotten into it, the more I’ve realized how important simplicity, fundamentals, and clear instruction really are.

That’s what I want this page to become moving forward.

More technique breakdowns. Better details. Cleaner concepts. Real training insights that actually help people improve on the mats.

I’ve been working on a lot behind the scenes, and I’m excited to start sharing again.

If you’d like to see more content from me again — techniques, concepts, training clips, breakdowns, mindset, or even Q&A — drop a comment or react to this post so I know you’re still here. 🥋

Appreciate everyone that’s supported the journey.

I like rules and principles over techniques sometimes. While the fine details of techniques are important, rules can be more universal.

For the mount, you never mount the guy unless you can isolate an arm and hug their head. Now before the internet warriors come in here, you can break the rules if you know the rules but for newer students I don’t recommend breaking the rules too often just yet.

Thinking about these rules in place, you can use this against your opponent when on the receiving end by using this slick back take if they aren’t hugging your head when mounting. Watch till the end of the video to learn how to force people to break this rule
