I know that a traditional butterfly guard has you feet under his thighs with you sitting up and controlling his arms. Like this:
I have heard by instructor say he likes to "play butterfly guard" with one foot on the hip and the other on the knee. Is this still butterfly guard or something else? Or is it one of those in between positions that doesn't have its own name yet?
It kind of looks like this position but a much tighter grip on the upper body.
Thanks guys.
