How to shut down and pass the Single Leg X Guard even if he’s trying to leglock you and take your opponent’s back. By Stephan Kesting, from https://www.grapplearts.com/rollingbacktakes
The butterfly guard is a very powerful position, but if you know what to do, then you can defend the sweep, smash the guard, and take the back. This technique from the Rolling Backtakes for Everyone instructional (https://www.grapplearts.com/rollingbacktakes) is one of my very favorite ways to do just that, and if I can do it as a 54-year-old man with a hip replacement, then you can do it too!
If you’re caught in a fully applied heel hook you should tap, but IF you catch it early, hide your heel, and strip the grip off your foot you can hit him with a sweet rolling backtake and choke him out! From Rolling Backtakes for Everyone, available at https://www.grapplearts.com/rollingbacktakes
