Class 320...

A no gi class on butterfly guard, which included a couple of sweeps and a guard pass. These went something like this: 

Butterfly sweep with double underhooks: opponent is on his knees and and you secure both butterfly hooks inside the opponent's legs; then secure both underhooks under opponent's arms; close distance and stay attached; shrimp backside out slightly but stay attached to opponent at the top of his body; then drop backwards and elevate the opponent using the butterfly hooks; pick a side and sweep the opponent to that side and end up in mount.

Butterfly sweep with single underhook and single overhook: opponent is on his knees and and you secure both butterfly hooks inside the opponent's legs; then secure one underhook under one side of opponent's arms; then an overhook over one side of opponent's arms; leg that is the same side as overtook flattens to floor; the other leg stays hooked; top body stays attached to opponent at the top of his body; then drop sideways onto your ear and elevate the opponent using the single butterfly hook; sweep the opponent and end up in half guard and pass to side control. 

Butterfly sweep defence using ankle grab: opponent on knees closes space and cages hips to stop leg extension; elbows help to cage hips on either side of opponent with arms forming frame alongside opponent's rib cage; head stays attached to body of opponent with head facing to side; one arms reaches back to grab ankle of opponent and secure it in place; then step over that side pass into side control. 

Butterfly sweep defence using hop over: opponent on knees closes space and cages hips to stop leg extension; elbows help to cage hips on either side of opponent with arms forming frame alongside opponent's rib cage; head stays attached to body of opponent with head facing to side; one arms reaches back to grab ankle of opponent and secure it in place; then position opposite arm and head to one side of opponent; using head and hands as points of base, hop over into side control. 

In sparring, we played king of the guard, which is a guard retention game where the seated man has to sweep using butterfly guard and the attacking man has to escape hooks and pass to side control. I was OK at this. 

Sparring was also OK. I rolled with mainly lower belts, which was good because I got to play with butterfly guard and drill some triangle and omoplata submissions. The one senior belt I rolled with utterly smashed me. He was very slick and moved ridiculously easy. The latter is very good at securing foot hooks so I need to be better at pummelling against foot hooks. He also is very good at securing underhooks. 

I need to start being more disciplined about not giving any form of hooks up so easily. I maybe need to use a combat base when entering the guards of better opponents. as this gives me a platform to at least try and pass.

Things to remember: The butterfly sweeps, the butterfly defences and passes, and fighting any opponent when they try to secure underhooks or butterfly hooks.
