Mount Escape to Butterfly Guard

Use this escape when the opponent adjusts their weight to be heavy on the leg you're turning toward, making the half guard recovery impossible. By reading the weight shift, you redirect your hip movement to the opposite side and extract your knee into a butterfly hook instead.
