- Use your outer leg to snake out sleightly to make space and insert your knee in that created by opponent’s hip and your body
- Establish a knee shield
- Connect your elbow to the inside of your knee doing the knee shield
- Bring knee down which will create space for your elbow to be and underhook opponent’s body
- Snake out sleightly and get a butterfly hook on the inside of their leg (for butterfly sweep))
- Switch hooks, using the leg that isn’t butterfly hooking and step over and bringing it back towards your butt trapping the leg you were butterfly hooking
- Drive forward and get oppnent’s weight off their knee and scissor your legs so non hooking knee is in the back
- Get a knee pick and drive forwards
- Grab that thigh, you’ll likely need to get your shoulder to the ground to reach it
- Forward snake such that you are flat under opponent, your pelvis will be under opponent’s knee and they won’t be touching the ground with maybe a hand or two
- Bridge and twist sleightly to roll them over and establish side control
