Connecting to spider guard from collar sleeve:

  1. Start from a standing position and perform the same guard pull used for collar and sleeve.
  2. Choose to step to the hip or the bicep. Begin with the hip and transition to the bicep.
  3. Release the collar grip and grab the opponent's sleeve, especially if they are grabbing your pants. Use this to bring their grip closer and establish a spider guard grip by rolling your four fingers into the cuff, keeping the thumb on the outside for IBJJF competition.
  4. Insert your foot into the opponent's bicep. Extend the leg and bring your knee in, widening it at the pit of their elbow before placing your foot there.
  5. Mold your foot to their bicep, ensuring a secure connection.
  6. Practice moving around to get comfortable with the position.
  7. Extend to one side or the other while maintaining strong grips and pressing your feet against their biceps.
  8. Keep a slightly rounded spine to facilitate movement while on your back.
