Great Video!
This isn't just a simple butterfly sweep; it’s a comprehensive system executable from standing and various guard positions. Danaher’s mechanical insights transform the Sumi Gaeshi into a versatile, high-percentage attack for any grappling scenario.
I was able to hit this move several times in training within a week of watching the tutorial
The details and insight on the technique is so profound. This open my game up so much more making jujitsu more lovable than it already is for me.

Well organized review of the butterfly guard. Lots of details Great for beginners and advanced BJJ practitioners
I really like the explaing of outcomes.
It uses the live scanio to really help.
Another word class instructional from the master of the position. The sumi gaeshi sweep is one of the most versatile in the sport. Master obtaining it from every position.
World class instructional as usual. The sumi gaeshi is one of the most versatile sweeps in jiujitsu
My butterfly really improving
It is the best begiining for butterfly guards.
Anything John does is outstanding, I’ve just received my purple belt and couldn’t have done it without his instructionals, this simplifies the butterfly sweep so I could do it the next day in training . Oss
This has become my favorite series by far
As usual for me I can see why he hes the instructor of black belts Never has something you learn in your first week of BJJ been broken down and explained so well Making the implicit, explicit
John debugged my butterfly guard and it feels great. Like always John showed what the underlying problem was and how to understand it fundamentally. It’s the little things that make a big difference when it comes to pulling off moves on a high level opponent. Highly recommended.
In depth and excellent as always.
Complete and as usual, covering the specifics to make the butterfly guard a big deal
"Master Danaher's techniques are always high-level and detailed. This time, too, he teaches the principles of the butterfly guard and various techniques based on those principles. As someone who enjoys playing the butterfly guard, I find this instruction very helpful."
