This is an outstanding instructional from a legend. My Professor plays butterfly a lot and this gives me a deep understanding of what he is trying to accomplish. It helps me either stop or slow his game down to at least get submitted in other ways!
Very useful details for someone that hasn't played much butterfly guard before
Great information and details. Very informative
Great and thorough Instrcuction on the butterfly sweep, one of the best most essential sweeps in BJJ, from its greatest proponent and practitioner
Great sweeps and easy to understand. Definitely recommend if you are getting into the position
Great sweeps and techniques easy to learn and apply
This has great information regarding the butterfly guard, it is also very clear that this comes from real experience on mats in competition or otherwise, this works! I recommend this very highly to anyone who wants to improve the BG game
Wish I had watched this sooner. I am no longer a caterpillar guard user. Nor a cocoon guard user. I am now the butterfly guard user. Although I'm not that beautiful. lol
Awesome. MG is an incredible teacher. He's straight to the point.
This was a good video. I wish it went over some of the basics, mostly intermediate and advanced. I wish he also had a focus for the Gi as well.
Great details and best person to learn the butterfly guard from

Love it
Brilliant as with all of Marcelo's videos. Perfect explanation at a perfect pace. The start to finish chain is what I love about all of his tutorials. Most importantly, it all works so well, with practice.
Need further explanations? The best pound for pine ever teach you his favourite position… just perfect
What is there more to say? A must have from one of the GOATS! Very clear instructions and even as a blackbelt I learned a lot. If you don't know who he is I highly suggest you look him up and watch him fight against all sizes!
Worth it
Marcelo Garcia has a wonderful grasp on how to sequence lessons. Each lesson about butterfly guard stacks in a way that allows the student to understand the different options and scenarios of the position. Marcelo ensures that you have a flow chart of success.
Great instructional from an expert of the position. A great buy!
Tough position to master for me. This instructional is definitely helping!
This was one of the first instructionals I purchased from BJJ Fanatics. I was just starting at the time. The butterfly guard isn't considered one of the "fundamentals" in BJJ, but I think it's getting to the point that it should. It made a huge difference for me, even as a white belt. And it's a guard that is played through all the levels. This instructional should be required learning in my opinion.
The instructional has a great focus on butterfly sweeps from various positions rather than submission. It contains a lot of useful details. However there’s also a lot of repetition which can be exhausting at times.
A masterful instructional taught by one of the all time greats and a must have for any serious practitioner.
really helped my open guard game
Marcelo's butterfly gaurd series is like sitting on the mat next to the master. Clear and effortless on his part. Beautiful jiu jitsu I hope to emulate in some small way
