Arm Drag Butterfly Sweep
Position Details
The arm drag butterfly sweep combines the arm drag technique with butterfly guard elevation. After clearing their arm, you sweep them toward the exposed side while taking an angle on their back.
Key Principles
- Execute a sharp arm drag, pulling their arm across your body
- Immediately elevate with your far-side hook
- Fall toward the arm drag side while lifting
- You can sweep to top or transition to back control
Concepts
- Arm Drag Timing: The drag must be quick and sharp to be effective
- Hip Switch: As you drag, switch your hips to create a better angle
- Dual Threat: The arm drag opens both sweep and back take opportunities
- Momentum: Use the pulling momentum of the drag to flow into the sweep
