butterfly guard
Open-hip control
Butterfly guard is a position in grappling martial arts, particularly Brazilian jiu-jitsu, where the bottom fighter sits facing their opponent with both feet hooked inside the opponent's thighs.
The position resembles a butterfly's wings and allows for sweeps, submissions, and transitions.
