This spider guard sweep is a great way to reverse your opponent from the open guard. Off setting your opponent’s base prior to the sweep is a key detail often times neglected by novice Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu students

Arguably the most important string of techniques from the guard is the armbar, triangle, armbar sequence. Here we show the transitions and cover important details for making your sequence smooth. My BJJ Tampa coach Rob Kahn would have us warm up with this drill to keep our guards sharp.
This is the highest percentage guard series in our Hudson Valley BJJ curriculum.
