Takedown

  Or
• after you scoop the leg and squeeze it between your knees
• replace your left arm with your right arm and swing your right leg over his leg
• your left hand goes to his gi (around his collar), your hip to his hip
• you can step with your right leg and sweep his left leg
  Or
• you can sweep with the left leg and trip him forward
• if your opponent blocks, you drop to your knees and scoop his other foot for the takedown

Defending the Butterfly pass (2 techniques)

• your opponent has both feet between your knees
• lift your left knee and place it between his feet
• underhook with your left arm and turn him to your right
• finish in his half guard

Guard break

• place your right knee behind his butt and step back with your left foot
• work your knee between his legs until he breaks his guard
• pass over his leg and into side control

OR
