Standing to pass the butterfly/seated guard
Standing pass vs butterfly is a descriptive name for standing vs seated guard — naming the standing approach to passing a seated butterfly guard.
Etymology. “Standing pass” names the upright approach; “vs butterfly” names the seated butterfly guard it faces. The label specifies one common application of the broader standing-vs-seated position.
Mechanics. Standing over a seated butterfly keeps the passer’s hips high above the guard’s, and the higher hips hold the structural advantage; from above, the seated player’s hooks cannot elevate the passer, so the height denies the butterfly the lift its sweeps depend on.
Cross-reference. “Standing vs butt scoot” and “Vertical passing context” are sibling aliases. Full mechanical coverage on Standing vs Seated Guard.
