Can't Get Underhooks in Butterfly Guard?
I often like starting in ANOTHER position with the underhook already secured and then moving into the butterfly guard.
One excellent position to do this from is the half butterfly guard. Start there, pushing your opponent away with your butterfly hook (or move your hips away) and end up in the butterfly guard.
All the while you've maintained your underhook while moving everything else into position. And when your legs finally get there - boom - you're ready to sweep him!
I've got Kesting's butterfly guard DVD. I really need to think about getting this one, as well.
