Butterfly Guard

Butterfly Guard in Jiu Jitsu

This position is so named because the legs of the person on bottom are open and active, like the wings of a butterfly. This position is similar to Full Guard in that the legs are used to monitor and affect the distance/position of the opponent, but Butterfly Guard tends to be a more active position since the person on top is not being squeezed and held in place.
