Anyone have good principals for passing half butterfly guard. Not worried about the sweep but it seems hard not go go back to full butterfly.
Any help would be great!

My only advice would be just work on passing in general. Mix it up between open guard and butterfly passes. Then just modify those movements and incorporate them to pass the half butterfly. Drill passing the half butterfly. As long as you react before they put you back in butterfly then there are quite a few places to go.
Also, pin their hips and dont let them get under your hips either. Keeping pressure on their leg with your hand when passing can be important with some of the passes too, since you need to take your weight off their hips to pass sometimes.
If you dont pressure the leg that has the butterfly enough, it can be used to elevate you just enough for them to recover full butterfly, so its always worth thinking about controlling their elevators.
I still use this.

Good post. That is a very neat pass.
Sean taught a whole series on it on the cruise. He'll stuff open guard to half butterfly then pass , works real well. I know it was all filmed but not sure how much was posted. It's my open guard pass of choice now.
Wasn’t that ¾ butterfly (opposite leg not between your legs)? Yeah, that’s a different pass and great stuff too. Are you going on the next traincation, Brian?Quote:

I would still love to see Sean's 3/4 pass, if anyone can find it paleeeze:)
+1 for clips of Seans 3/4, 1/4 or any other fraction that exists from his passing game.
13:43 MTS 25. He sprawls back and does the same pass from 3/4 as that open guard pass. Other than that, we were asked not to post footage of the seminar, which is why you won't find it anywhere. That's how 10 listen :)
The key for me has always been staying low (even sprawling at times) and controlling my opponents hips. I like to isolate the leg I'm working on by pinning the top of their foot to my hip and staying tight. Me gabby an meg have been working on this exclusively for the last 2 months. I prefer to pass from half butterfly vs. butterfly so I purposely isolate one leg when in the butterfly. I'd love to Post a vid. With gabby or meg but I think there are rules around that so unless someone gives me permission I will refrain.
thanks for the input guys if you do post something let me know.
