Butterfly Guard Pass to Side Control Variation when Opponent Shrimps Out (Fundamentals)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows a variation of a butterfly guard pass when the opponent tries to block him by shrimping out. Lucas makes sure to keep his knees close to the opponent and places his chest on him, while gripping the sides of the Gi. This way the opponent can’t create space. Lucas traps one of the opponent’s leg, opposite to the direction Lucas is looking. He traps the leg bringing his own leg out and places his upper thigh against the opponent’s shin. Once the leg is trapped, Lucas uses the same side elbow to push the opponent’s knee down so he can bring his knee over the leg. Lucas switches his base, brings his other leg over and tries to establish the side control. In this scenario, the opponent tries to block Lucas by shrimping out. Lucas brings his near side leg over the opponent’s leg trapping it. He then turns his head to the other side and bring his other leg over to establish the side control on the other side.
