Stephan Kesting – Dynamic Guard Sweeps – Vol 1 The Buttterfly and X Guard

The Butterfly and X Guard

Guard sweeps get you from the bottom to the top in grappling situations. Sweeping an opponent is a very important, yet difficult, skill to master in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, submission grappling and mixed martial arts.

The butterfly guard is one of the most powerful ways to sweep your opponent. The X guard is a recent addition to the grappling arsenal, and transitions into the butterfly guard very smoothly.

In fact the butterfly guard is now one the most popular styles of guard in both gi and no gi competition. Every serious competitor needs at least a basic understanding of it, and many have made it their bread and butter style of offensive, attacking guard.

This instructional by BJJ black belt Stephan Kesting breaks down the butterfly and X guard games into easy-to-understand techniques, combinations and principles.

There are over 80 techniques, drills and combinations in this 2 hour (122 min) DVD, covering all aspects of the butterfly and X guard positions. The material is applicable to both gi and no-gi grapplers.

This two-hour DVD covers Butterfly Guard Sweeps, Counters, Combinations, Strategies, Setups, Drills, Submissions, Guard Retention and also includes Live Competition Footage
