What Will You Learn?

???? Butterfly Guard Rediscovered 3.0
A modern masterclass in butterfly guard—builds flexibility, control, and strategic depth into sweeps, takedowns, and back-take transitions.

???? Course Overview

Adam Wardziński—a high-level competitor and instructor—reframes butterfly guard as a platform for both dynamic offense and steadfast defense. In this third edition, he integrates classic sweeps with cutting-edge control strategies, position-based transitions, and athletic compatibility to create a responsive guard system that thrives under pressure.

???? What You’ll Learn

  • Positioning Fundamentals & Grip Control
    Optimal hip and torso alignment; leg hook variation and knee frame setups; grip strategies including collar ties, pant grips, ankle control, and shoulder frames.
  • Modern Sweep Library
    Enhanced hook sweeps using upper-body torque; rolling sit-throughs, X-sweep hybrids, leg-kick entries; advanced variations like collar-pull sweeps, corkscrew bridges, and head-pinch assist.
  • Back-Take & Transition Tactics
    Timing entries into back-takes and side control finishes; flow sequences from sweep to back control using grip-chain logic; entries into inverted guard and sit-through transitions.
  • Pressure Management & Scramble Techniques
    Defensive frames and hip escape initiation under pressure; recovery drills to re-enter or transition into side control or single-leg X; scramble strategies that maintain momentum.
  • Flow Drills & Live Application
    Structured drill progression: hook setup, sweep, transition, back-take; partner flow sequences; live sparring examples showing creative transitions under resistance.

???? Who It’s For

Grapplers who want to expand upon traditional butterfly guard with pressure-based tactics; anyone seeking a smart, structured system for sweep-to-back transitions; competitors and hobbyists wanting a reactive, flow-based guard for dynamic rolling.
