Spider guard basics

Spider guard basics by Eli Knight. To maintain a strong Spider guard, secure firm grips on your opponent's sleeves, and place your feet on their biceps to create distance and leverage. Keep your hips mobile to adjust to their movements and continuously off-balance them by pushing and pulling. Use leg tension to control the space and prevent passing attempts, making it difficult for them to advance. These elements work together to keep your Spider guard effective and offer opportunities for sweeps and submissions.
