What Will You Learn?

Half butterfly is one of the most effective ways to stay safe and attack from the bottom under heavy pressure, and few coaches have built a cleaner system around it than Brian Glick.

Glick earned his black belt under John Danaher and Renzo Gracie and is one of Danaher's longest-standing students. Now he's sharing the half butterfly system he uses to stay safe on the bottom and turn pressure into attacks, in a fast, focused format.

In Fast Track BJJ: Under Pressure Half Butterfly Mastery, Glick starts with why half butterfly works and the two mechanics everything is built on: the inside frame and the underhook. From there he shows you how to get to half butterfly from closed guard, seated butterfly, reverse De La Riva and split squat, and even from bottom mount, side control and turtle. This isn't just a half guard course, it's a complete bottom game that turns heavy pressure into sweeps and submissions.

Whether you're a smaller grappler stuck under bigger partners or someone who spends a lot of time on the bottom, half butterfly serves as a home base you can return to from almost any bad position.

The attacks are built to work when your opponent reacts, not only when everything is perfect. You'll learn the Sumi Gaeshi in reactive, proactive and pullback versions, the pinch headlock and shoulder crunch with a forward shift to the triangle, the kimura even when they lock their hands, and the clamp into near leg and far leg ashi entries, the knee lever and the lat kneebar. A troubleshooting section deals with the Estima lock, the leg lace and the knee cut.

If you've ever wondered how some grapplers stay calm under a heavy top player and keep finding sweeps and submissions, this is how they do it.

Learn how to turn half butterfly into your safest and most dangerous position with Brian Glick.
