The Half Butterfly Guard With Aaron Benzrihem

What Will You Learn?

With over 4 hours of segmented and sequential content across 6 volumes, this easy to implement instructional series will show you EVERYTHING you need to know to start playing The Half Butterfly Guard.  The Half Butterfly Guard is one of the most under-utilized positions in BJJ.  With incredible versatility in both gi and no gi and incredible leverage based attacks, this is a position EVERYONE should know.  The half butterfly is an incredible hybrid guard that works extremely well regardless of weight, athletic level and even skill. 

If you follow some of the basics and control principles of the position that Aaron shows, you will be able to sweep and control almost anyone with this position.  One of the biggest benefits to the half butterfly guard is the fact that it allows you to have offensive options from one of BJJ's worst position, the "Under Hook / Cross Face Half Guard Pass."  

Aaron shows several options to sweep, submit or transition using the half butterfly when you are getting completely smashed in the half guard.  That is the beauty of this position, you can use it when you are normally down and out. The half butterfly is also a GREAT position to enter the legs.  Aaron is going to show you transitions to Ashi, Toe Holds, Knee Bars, Strait Ankles, and more from the half butterfly guard!

On this instructional you will find a COMPLETE road map that is laid out.  Aaron is going to start by devoting the whol first volume to basics of control, concepts, movement, mobility and mechanics. This will lay the foundation so you are able to immediately implement.  From there you will learn sweeps, passes that connect to the sweeps, back takes, submissions if the sweeps fail, transitions if both the submissions and sweeps fail and then discuss defensive concepts and common encounters.
