Two smash attacks, one to escape butterfly and the other to escape knee shield.
Pass from butterfly: opponent has butterfly hooks in, you open his gi and grab the lapels and use the gi to pin the opponent to the floor; you stand up and pinch you knees together while slightly basing your feet out; as you stand you pull the gripped gi and squeeze the knees to attack his butterfly hooks; pick a side and use the knee and arm of that side to drive his legs to one side; then drop into side control and continue to drive weight into the hip of the opponent; grab opponent's gi pants and push his top leg into his bottom leg; pass into side control.
Pass from knee shield half guard: pin the opponent's knee, grab the collar of his gi and pull him in; stand up on the foot nearest the opponent's head, then ankle slice and push forward, push forward so you are past his hips; then drive back to put the opponent on his side.
Sparring was OK and we worked on defending or attacking these two positions. I did OK from butterfly guard and hit a few sweeps. I also did well with the old school grab both the legs of the opponent and pressure pass. It's nice to back on the mats, even it is only once or twice a week at the moment.
Things to remember: pin the opponent's legs and use the grab both legs technique.
