What Will You Learn?

???? The Complete Butterfly Guard
A full-spectrum system to master butterfly guard—covering sweeps, submissions, positional transitions, and dynamic control—directly from the GOAT of butterfly.

???? Course Overview

Marcelo Garcia, four-time ADCC champion and five-time IBJJF world champion, delivers a masterclass on his iconic butterfly guard. Over four volumes, this instructional transforms butterfly from a transitional tool into a dominant, multidimensional position—capable of sweeping, attacking the back, and imposing submissions on opponents of any size.

???? What You’ll Learn

  • Volume 1 – Core Mechanics & Entry Systems
    Body positioning and posture fundamentals for butterfly guard; hook placement and powerful sets; sweep initiation with standard hook, leg-kick, and collar-tie setups.
  • Volume 2 – Dynamic Attacks & Leg Drives
    Explosive leg-kick sweeps with head-pull control; shoulder clamp variations; “Marcelotine” headlock-to-back finish chains.
  • Volume 3 – Distance Management & Counter Strategy
    Timing for pull-reshoot sweeps; counter to posture breaks and tripod defense; chains into back-takes and arm drags.
  • Volume 4 – Advanced Sweep Library
    Reverse arm-lock, double-tricep control, rocker sweeps; attacks versus standing opponents; integration with X-guard and back entries.

???? Who This Course Is For

Grapplers aiming to upgrade butterfly guard from neutral to dominant; those seeking a sweep-first, pressure-driven style that works equally well against larger, stronger opponents.
