2 Effective Spider Guard Sweeps for White Belts Wanting To Use Open Guard

Recently I received a request for some simple Spider Guard sweeps that you can use in BJJ. So in this video I cover 2 Spider Guard Techniques that are, in my opinion, fairly easy to implement. I say this because a lot of grapplers want to develop some sort of open guard game eventually but picking the right sweep out of the thousands that exist can be tough. So these 2 sweeps are great starters for anyone trying to develop an open guard game. In the video I show a basic opening to a open guard position discussing the importance of grips and tension. Then I get into the 2 spider guard sweeps. The 1st one is the Spider Scissor Sweep. I call it this because it shares some similar mechanics as the traditional scissor sweep from full guard. The sweep can also land you in a great finishing position in mount where you’ll have both arms still tangled up and ready to attack.
