BUTTERFLY SWEEPING YOUR OPPONENT SIDEWAYS
By Stephan Kesting
from
Grapplearts.com

Step 1: Start in the butterfly guard with
your left arm under your opponent's arm (an 'underhook') and
your right arm over your opponent's arm (an 'overhook').
|

Step 2: Prepare for the sweep by
moving your head down to beside his shoulder and
moving your right foot to the left
|

Step 2 detail: Notice how my right
foot
has come underneath my left leg
|

Step 3: Drive to the side, taking your opponent
with you. Maintain
your right overhook to prevent him from posting his arm.

Step 4: When your shoulder hits the ground
use your top leg to kick your opponent's
leg into the air (and simultaneously drive off the ground with your bottom
leg).

Step 5: Keeping your weight on the ball of
your right foot, turn your hips...

Step 5 continued: ...and come to the side,
pinning your opponent in a
modified scarf-hold position (Kuzure Kesa Gatame in Japanese).
Note: with
the side-driving variation it is very difficult to come directly
to the mount.
