SweepIntermediateGiNo-Gi

Half butterfly sweep

A half guard sweep where one of your feet hooks under their thigh. You win the underhook, pull their weight forward onto the hook and lift it to roll them over.

Key steps

  1. Win the underhook from half guard and stay up on your side facing them.
  2. Bring your free foot in and hook it under their thigh.
  3. Block their far arm at the elbow or wrist so they can't post on that side.
  4. Pull them onto the hook with the underhook and lift to roll them toward the blocked arm.
  5. Follow them over and settle on top before they can recover guard.

Key details

  • The underhook pulls their weight forward; without it, the hook has nothing to lift.
  • Lying flat takes the angle out of the hook, so stay on your side.
