Last night's no-gi class was a really great experience. It was one of those nights where you really start to feel progress. In the past few weeks I have been adding the butterfly guard to my game and last night it finally clicked.
NOTES:
• Realized the importance of using your feet like little monkey hands, all the time, but in butterfly guard the game really relies on it. Use feet to hook in and really keep opponent off balance.
• Being more aggressive for underhooks, instead of sleeve/wrist grips helped secure position more than anything I've been trying.
• Grip drills are starting to help my reaction time drastically. DO THEM MORE.
• Double underhooks + palm to palm, straighten legs + sit up, bring hands to chest, get tap
• IF you lose guard to double under hooks (on the legs), break hands at pad, hold wrists, release one arm, trap that arm with leg, and slide same arm through for underhook, while keeping arm trapped with leg, palm to palm + walk leg down, transfer to kimora, get tap. If he pulls arm out secure arm to chest and go for triangle first---> arm bar---> arm lock---> omaplata
• continue to work lockdown from halfguard, look to underhook opposite leg and sit up.
• work N<--->S escape

Nice I definitely recommend Marcelo Garcia's X-Guard book. The whole first 1/3 is on establishing Butterfly guard, its sweeps, and its transitions into X-Guard.
hmmm... I should write a review of that book.
