Butterfly Guard

You are sitting up with both hooks inside their thighs, and the position only works while your chest is close to theirs. Take an underhook or a strong upper body grip, keep your hips mobile, and stop them from flattening you onto your back. Sweeps come from loading one hook and taking their base away in the other direction — you lift, you do not push.
