The arm drag from butterfly guard to the back is a tried-and-true technique that has ended many matches in submission grappling and BJJ. Here’s how to do it…
 |
Stephan controls his opponent with the butterfly guard. |
 |
He grips his opponent’s triceps with his right hand… |
 |
… and pulls him forward while simultaneously moving his own body to the left. His opponent is now off balance. |
 |
Stephan quickly starts to come to the top, gripping the far armpit with his left arm. |
 |
He now climbs into the rear mount position and snakes his right arm around his opponent’s throat. |
 |
His opponent falls onto his side, but Stephan controls him with his legs while applying a very powerful choke (known as a ‘rear naked choke’). |
