19 June 2007 -- No-gi: butterfly guard pass

Warm up
Medicine ball 3rd point pressure drill, two 2 minute rounds
Posture to feet in Op's closed guard/break guard drill, 2 minute round
Hip sweep from closed guard drill, 2 minute round

Technique:
Start in Op's butter fly guard. Flatten Op to prevent him from getting double under hooks. Shift weight back to hips and control Op's legs with elbows, place pressure on their hips. Choose a side, gain control of Op's ankle by reaching down to his guard, post opposite arm to mat right under Op' arm pit, post head to mat on same side where you have control of ankle. Press yourself into head stand and pass the guard coming down to side opposite the ankle control and head post to mat. Land in side control or kesa getame.

40 minute positional sparring, man on mat pulls butter fly guard, must sweep or submit. The challenger tries to pass the guard.
