Executing a Kneebar when an opponent breaks the grip in Spider Guard:

  1. As the opponent breaks the grip, keep your arm out from under their foot and hook their ankle.
  2. Invert completely, ensuring to plant your legs firmly on the ground.
  3. If the opponent rolls forward, position their heel next to your shoulder and arch your back to apply the Kneebar.
  4. Should the opponent be flexible or continue to move, place your arm in front of their heel and extend to finish the submission.
  5. To set up, extend your leg in Spider Guard as usual, but when the grip is broken, immediately move to grab the ankle.
  6. After inverting and clamping down, ensure your heel is in front of your shin and your foot is in front of the opponent's leg.
  7. Extend your body to apply pressure, and if necessary, use your arm to reinforce the extension for the submission.
