Spider Guard 3

Executing a triangle setup from Spider Guard:

1. Start in Spider Guard with a shallow lasso or just the leg outside, maintaining grips on both sleeves.
2. Extend one leg and initiate a sweep motion, swinging the leg to create momentum.
3. For those new to Spider Guard, emphasize getting a good pendulum swing to bring the leg all the way through.
4. As you sweep, hook the opponent's hip with your foot and extend the other foot on their bicep or elbow crease to off-balance them onto the mat.
5. Expect the opponent to base with their free hand to prevent the sweep. If they don't base, you can proceed to get on top.
6. Attempt to sweep further, causing the opponent to base more heavily. Then, bend your knee and pull their elbow to create an opening for the triangle.
7. As the gap opens, release your leg, shoot both legs up, and lock the triangle around their neck and arm.
8. Lift your hips and adjust by pulling the opponent's head across if necessary, then control your shin to secure the triangle choke.

This technique baits the opponent into a triangle during a sweep attempt from Spider Guard, utilizing leg movement and grips for effective execution.
