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.

The 2nd sweep is the Thread Sweep. This sweep used to be my "magic sweep" back in the day. People would step up to a combat base and I'd use the sweep. When you practice it you'll definitely feel the power of the position.

So thanks again for the question, and for any of you wanting to open up your guard a bit more I hope this video is useful to you!

Thanks for watching.
