This butterfly guard pass doesn’t require athleticism, speed or killer grips; instead this guard pass is all about the timing.
To have great timing you either need to have super-fast reflexes to react to your opponent, OR you have to ‘train’ your opponent to give you a certain energy so you can anticipate it and have your response already waiting for him.
This second approach – training your opponent to move a certain way and then set a trap for him – is much easier and makes you look like a timing god!
The cool thing is that the exact same principle can be used to make many other attacks and guard passes work!
Here’s a video showing you exactly how to set up this kind of trap for your opponent:
