Basic spider guard sweeps against a kneeling and standing opponent, then the same sweep with a lasso for extra control, finishing in side control or a bicep slicer.
Principles of the spider-lasso guard (four-finger pocket grip, knees high, constant pull) and three sweeps including a butterfly hybrid when they step a leg up.
When the opponent breaks a spider grip, switch to the leg lasso and hit a fundamental underhook-the-leg sweep to side control. Shown from three angles.
