North South Prevention to Spider Guard Sweep to Mount (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri demonstrates how to recover that guard and sweep using the spider guard. The opponent attempts to go for the north south position. Lucas prevents it by framing, bumping and bringing a knee inside helps create space to recover guard. If extending the arms is possible, blocking and bringing a knee in can also help. Using forearms to rock the opponent can aid in bringing a knee in to escape. In this technique, the transition to spiderweb guard with extended legs and grips on the sleeves is also shown. From open guard, breaking the opponent's grip on the pants, rocking, trapping a knee, and extending a leg can lead to a sweep directly into mount.
