Control Drill Retention - Spider

Guard retention from spider guard involves three main drills:

1. Opponent moving side to side:
   • Extend one leg while retracting the other to keep the opponent at a distance.
   • Lift hips and scoot them out to an angle as the opponent switches sides.
   • Maintain sticky feet and follow the opponent's movements to keep control.
2. Opponent throwing legs to the side:
   • Keep one foot sticky on the opponent's bicep and place the other foot on the same bicep.
   • Lift hips and replace the foot to its original position while extending the other leg.
   • Repeat the process as the opponent attempts to throw the legs to either side.
3. Opponent stacking:
   • Press lower back and head to the mat to avoid being rolled into a stack position.
   • Maintain this position to become like a human sled, making it difficult for the opponent to lift or roll you.
   • Avoid lifting the head or butt off the mat to prevent the opponent from leg dragging or taking the back.
