butter your fly guard
Tom is so buttery right now!
Must have for half butterfly players
This might be one of the older instructionals on the site, but it's still recommended viewing for BHG players. It has a lot to offer in regards to sweeps, set ups and submissions. Check it out!
Highly recomended
There is few people, if any, that play half guard better than Tom. The curiculum is well organized and taught. Anyone who watches should be able to get some good insights into improving thier half guard game.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging:Fantastic!!!
I actually got interested in this postion at a Gordon seminar I attended. I knew Tom would deliver with an indept analysis. He over delivered. I've already began to work from this position. Phenomenal instructional. Easy to follow.

Great introduction!!
Great instructional on half guard great Tom Deblass' butterlfy half system
Tom Deblass teaches a comprehensive butterfly guard system. I really like Tom's teaching style, he's a clear and efficient communicator who still shows a lot of detail on how to get the system to work. For example his explanation on inviting pressure has been a game changer for my own half guard and butterfly half. I like to play a lot of butterfly and half guard so this instructional has helped me tremendously. I think this instructional is equally applicable for gi as well.
Game changer
It really changed my game, as I was getting smashed very often in half guard. The butterfly half guard gives you so many options to attack from such a frustrating position and Tom does a great job explaining the concepts in an easy to understand way.

Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:butterfly half guard
My knee sheild is always getting crushed. The butterfly hook changes that. It's a great way to avoid getting smashed plus being offensive at the same time

five stars
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Half guard helper
if you like the half guard adding the butterfly half to your game is a no brainer. Tom Deblass leads you step by step thru this is excellent instructional. From sweeps to subs this one has it all.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::call_me_hand::skin-tone-2:Best Beginner instuctional for Butterfly Half Guard
This is one of my first instructionals as a blue belt and it skyrocketed my butterfly half game which is until today my strongest guard. Great fundamentals.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Butterfly Half Guard
Awesome content. Great refresher and lots of new material.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:hugging::+1::skin-tone-2:Awesome
I Like the way how Tom explain his Techniques. Makes me wanna play some more Butterfly Half again.
Response from BJJ Fanatics:call_me_hand::skin-tone-2::hugging:The perfect match
This is one of the best instructionals I’ve ever purchased. I’ve always played half-guard and butterfly guard. Here Tom shows how to perfectly blend them together. If you favor any of these two guards, then it’s a must for you. Great for the older grappler.
