The rash guard I have on cams from supernaturalsurvivalgear.com. Check them out today.

That Darce choke. Just yes.

im just getting into butterfly and starting to get decent sweeps with it, this video is just what i need, thanks for the great content

Very short & sweet video

Thanks for Butterfly guard. Yesterday we learn it on training. Good stuff in my mind. From Russia with respect!

Awesome. Many gems in there, thank you

Look at it like a structure !!!! My philosophy of bjj has just expanded . Great advice and not even 2 minutes in .

Purple belt here 👋🏼 I’ve been watching your videos since I first put a white belt on. Great content as always! Thank you!

Outstanding Training

Loved that! Thanks for the tips

That was awesome cheers mate From Australia

I've just started playing around more with butterfly guard so this was great timing. Really great info, loved understanding more of the concepts versus just technique.

Really good video. I love this format. Tons of information in such a small clip 👍

Thanks Dude this really helps. Because I’m trying other variations and this is what WE all need. 🤙

That Darce is savage

Again, well done, great delivery.

Time to release your own DVD! You got me curious about the way you understand the butterfly and your depth of understanding regarding the rest of the positions and sweeps...

That was a great video. Thanks Eli.

My goal is to one day have a job with BJJ. I hope to teach it one day. Sounds crazy from someone who's only attended a few classes I'll start training regularly in a few months when I'm able to.i understand all the statistics. 95% of white belts give up before becoming a blue belt and 99% of blue belts give up before becoming a black belt. Obviously those numbers aren't exact but you get the message. I don't care how hard it is. O don't care how long it will take (15 years?) I'll be fine with it. I love BJJ . It's a lifestyle. I also hope to do some judo and wrestling training to learn takedowns. I know a good judo school near me and my uncle coached wrestling so confident in my goals. Love your videos Eli. They're very useful.

Excellent details as usual! Thank you :D

Very good job like always master! I hope i can fight (with all respect master) with you. Oss 🙏

you explain really well therefore subscribed

Nice video! Thanks for the content

Thank you bro

Different but I like it!

Coach Eli is the picasso of Juijuitsu

Damn why did I buy that butterfly dvd

Another good video dude! I watch one at night b fo bed 👍

OSS Sensei. Top

Nice 🖒. Thank you 🖒👍👌

Nice

make that 4 hour video you mentioned

How do you call that half butterfly position , thank you

What to do against a beginner who tries to force a punch choke to pass the butterfly guard?

Can you do the darce with thr right arm in that same position??

Do you know any sweeps that will work if your opponent has 2 functioning legs?

If you gave this a thumbs down you likely suck at jiu-jitsu 🤣

You, Sir, are a phenomenal instructor, always a expert presentation!

Who's better than Knight?! *crickets*

Nice overview, Eli. Thank you! Would love to see you put out a more detailed video exploring the fine points, common mistakes and other options from butterfly guard.

Great didatics bro. Garcia would be proud of you. Cheers from Brazil

Managed to catch the darce one last night..Thank you for this! Still need work on my sweeping angle tho..

Nice work! I love Butterfly & Marcelo.

Thank you very much, your great technique fascinates me and it helps me a lot to add new things and techniques to the repertoire. What you share, gives me new goals to improve my jiu jitsu No GI.

Love that sneaky Darce...

🤯 so good, thank you 🤙

Thank you very much here's a sub and like 😀👍

Man, super helpful, thanks!

Ty sensei.

7':40" small point Eli just said quickly that most white belts will miss but it is so important. ".. Once [the combos] start happening, it's really fun". This really doesn't make a whole lot of sense until it does. And what it means is that literally it gets more fun than it already is. You feel what has been dubbed "flow". So drill drill drill till you flow.

Excellent detail thanks Eli,look forward to trying it out👍

Great info. I'm a new white belt (4 weeks in) and since I end up on my back most of the time I'm trying to learn how to sweep and play the butterfly game. The advice about looking at posture as a structure makes sense :)

Thank you so much for all your hard work. I will drill these moves and hopefully be able to execute them during my bjj classes.

I am a purple belt and before covid came, and I was rolling daily , I started to notice my butterfly guard coming together. But I have a question for you , I notice that when sweeping you try to take your shoulder laterally to the floor to 3 o’clock and kick back vertically with the butterfly hook to 12 o’clock. I had thought I saw Gordon Ryan talk about the importance of, once you have a good undertook,/overhook/butterfly hook combo , driving your shoulder back to the mat towards 12 o’clock (as opposed to 3 oclock). I started doing this and it seemed to make all the difference, especially on really heavy opponents. It would just off balance them so much by bringing their head way towards 12 o’clock that they had no base, and then it just becomes super easy to flip them over to the side with the butterfly hook . Kind of opposite of what you are saying here (in my case I was driving my shoulder to 12 o’clock and flipping them laterally with my butterfly hook towards 9 o’clock , or 3 o’clock if my butterfly hook is my right foot) . The big advantage I saw was that no matter how big the person was, as long as my underhook and overhook were tight , they could not stop me from being able to take my own shoulder to 12 o’clock, and they were obligated to come with me because they had zero base in front of them . But when I try to take my shoulder to 3 or 9 o’clock, they have some base with their knees and can resist a bit

I know I'm gonna like this even before I watch it...clicked like

Either nervous or a very fast talker 😂. D’arce choke is nice
