About this video

Transitioning from spider guard to waiter position, the focus is on securing a submission. Begin with a spider guard grip on the collar and a leg hooking behind the opponent's buttock to lift them. Control the opponent's cuff to prevent escape.

  1. Slide your shin under the opponent's knee to adjust into the 70-30 guard.
  2. Push upwards with your legs to encourage the opponent to put weight on your chest.
  3. If they don't apply pressure, manually bend their foot and place it on your belt knot as a guideline.
  4. Sit up, switch grips, and secure a rear naked choke grip on their foot.
  5. Lock your elbows, pull back, and if the opponent puts weight on it, they will tap out.
  6. The submission works by creating a concave shape with your belly, letting out air, and then squeezing your core as they step into the "hole" created by your body.
  7. For the Estima/Tama Lock, keep the opponent's leg raised, control the cuff of their pants, and maintain the shin under the knee.
  8. Push with the foot on the belt to manage distance and pull them in when necessary.
  9. Before the opponent can apply their weight back, curl their toes onto your belly button, sit up, and secure the lock.
  10. Remember to torque your elbows for the submission and create the concave belly shape for the lock to be effective.
