Right now, we are going to go over getting into X-guard for MMA. Obviously, this being MMA, you worry about, strikes, as well as the submission it's like you see in Jiu-Jitsu and submission wresting.
So we need to -- we are going to go for that factor as well, as the others. From butterfly guard, we are going to start with the double underhook. We want to use good head control. We want to keep our head underneath there, so it's possible, I am going to head my forehead directly, so it's just looking forward, not looking downward, I don't want to get looking wrestling or covered.
So deep double underhooks and forehead underneath. As soon as I get in, I am going to rock him backwards and shoot for an underhook, right up. Shoot for an underhook. Then look what my legs did. Again, I am going to do that, I am right here, rock it back and as soon as I get up, underhook, and you are going to bring your shin up.
Now look, during that transition period, I would be worried about strikes, if I hit that slowly. That's why, as soon as you're rocking him back, you are shooting for this underhook and kicking the legs straight up. This arm right here, is also going to be very important, just like we showed in the previous video. We do this one more time.
Right there, now as soon as you get here, again, off balance and protect just after straight punches. If they are any transition, you can get a hold of this arm, that is great. This is going to be a bigger strike.
This arm right here, usually that's going to be the power hand, if you are going to your right, because you are going to usually go against right-handed opponents. But if not, if they are left-handed then, you are going to want to go over to the left side. In that case, again, you would want to tight this arm up and you would want to bring this elbow in.
