Introduction

Explore a knee slice variation and spider guard techniques that emphasize creating space and manipulating opponents without bearing their full weight and pressure. The knee slice is tailored for smaller practitioners to effectively pass through the guard, with variations to counter underhooks and knee shields, leading to side control, back takes, and submissions such as armbars and triangles.

Learn to combine elements from Romulo Barral, Cobrinha, and Marcelo Garcia's teachings to execute sweeps and submissions from spider guard. This includes transitioning to positions like X-Guard, using the foot under the shin for control, and dominating opponents with double bicep control using the feet. These techniques have been competition-proven over seven years and are designed to catch opponents off guard and create submission opportunities.
