Open Guard to One Leg X to Spider Guard to Sweep to Side Control (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri shows how to get to the side control by using a spider guard sweep. Lucas has the open guard controlling the sleeves. He posts a foot on the mat and pulls the opponent in to make him step forward. This allows Lucas to get to the one leg x. From the one leg x, Lucas lifts the arm so he can place the foot on the bicep for the spider guard. He now sweeps by extending his outside leg and then brings it back as he pulls the other leg down while still controlling the sleeves. Lucas now comes up and moves the opponent’s leg out of the way so he can back step and get to the side control position.
