About this video

Executing a Leg Drag from Spider Guard with the opponent having Spider Grip and Biceps Control:

  1. Begin by organizing your grip on top of the opponent's shin and close your elbows to prevent them from controlling your elbows.
  2. Lift your knee behind the opponent's knee to apply pressure on their leg, allowing you to let go of the initial grip and swing your arm out.
  3. Extend your arm without trying to grab the pants immediately; instead, close your elbow and extend to make the grip.
  4. As the opponent re-grabs, you will have full control. They will likely extend their other leg to maintain control.
  5. Quickly step to the other side, pinching your knee on the opponent's leg to prevent them from establishing De La Riva control.
  6. Use your hips to drag the opponent's leg, not just your arms. Your hips should move forward to remove the opponent's foot.
  7. While dragging, pull your arm in to break the opponent's grip on your sleeve.
  8. Drag the opponent's leg to the side and move down to stabilize the leg drag position.
  9. When the opponent is playing Spider Guard, walk back slightly to avoid being attacked or swept, and pinch your knees for balance.
  10. Push behind the opponent's knee to disrupt their balance as you prepare to swing your arm and secure the grip for the leg drag.
  11. After securing the grip, switch directions and use your hips to finalize the leg drag while simultaneously breaking the opponent's sleeve grip.
