Butterfly Guard Escape to Folding Pass to Side Control (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to escape from the butterfly guard using the folding pass. The opponent has Lucas in the butterfly guard and starts to lift Lucas up with the butterfly hooks. Lucas bases his hands on the mat and clamps his legs together. He starts walking to the side and when the opponent’s knee drops, he posts out with his leg. Lucas maintains a low base and when he is able, back steps to the other side. From here, Lucas gets to the side control position.
