I hope that everyone will check out the new video from this set called Establishing the X-Guard from the Butterfly Guard. This video demonstrates how to get into the X-Guard if your opponent either stands up or tries to flatten you out from your butterfly guard. If you haven't started utilizing the X-Guard yet, then you need to start doing so. It's a GREAT way to get some HUGE sweeps on your opponent at a very high percentage. Enjoy, and check out the new X-Guard Mini-Series!

This armbar works. Here is footage from a round of one of my fights where I pulled this one (watch 4:15). I went for the side-mount far armbar, my opponent did a roll out armbar escape, and I countered with the scissor armbar(Elvis armbar). Although, I wasn't successful. He was too heavy(150lbs. more than me), and stacked me. I still won in the final round of this bout. this can be done off this escape from an oppopnent, a lost go-go plata where the opp. slides the trapped arm out, and the lost armbar from guard. Great High percentage stuff in this thread.
