Butt scoot guard
Also known as Seated Guard — the canonical term used on this site.
Training background: colloquial
Colloquial — seated-guard mobility via butt scoot
Butt scoot guard is the colloquial name for the seated guard — flagging the butt-scoot mobility mechanic that the bottom player uses to maintain distance and position from the seated open-guard configuration.
Etymology. “Butt scoot” describes the seated mobility (sliding on the seat across the mat); “guard” attaches the position-family. The label is informal and predominates in casual coaching speech; “seated guard” is the standard published name.
Mechanics. The butt-scoot mobility maintains distance between the bottom player and the advancing opponent — the configuration trades close-range engagement for repositioning capability.
Cross-reference. “Long sit,” “long guard,” and “open guard” are alternate names. Full mechanical coverage on Seated Guard.
