Samuel Thanks Samuel happy you appreciate the style of teaching . I’m going to keep posting, let me know if you have any technique requests!

Yeah, the same technique explained by a highly competitive black belt gives a very different feeling from some abstract theory.

Hope it works well for you buddy!

Yup!

Well competition footage and experience says they will often break the grip.

ivanx7 It works the same if they extend their leg out hard on your bicep. The stomp on leg will work as well, but can be countered if guy on bottom knows how to defend it. I do like the stomp as well though. Also I think this pass ends you in better passing position. The stomp more breaks the position than passes, most of the time.

I find with really big and long guys it’s hard to hit this one when the leg is fully extended.. I end up using my hips to extend into their knee.. which isn’t the twisting one though that this guy shows

If their leg is extended completely that is when the twist is necessary. If it’s really hard to get the hook off you can sometimes drop while you twist to make the hook slide off. You won’t always get fully pass the guard with this throw sometimes they recompose, but if you twist properly I have never not been able to get the leg off the bicep which at least makes them frame to defend and breaks the position and you can repass after. In my opinion using your hip to try to pop the spider hook off is not effective vs a good spider guard, it’s too easy for me to recenter my hip as you posture. Sorry to be critical of your suggestion, but it was one of the main points of my video and trying to be honest with advice for guys passing spider I strongly recommend against it. It’s in my opinion one of the most common mistakes trying to pass the spider. If it always works for you keep using it, if you eventually do come across the spider guard you can’t do it on then you can always go back and try the twist method. I can make a short follow up video on this specific point for you guys, these details are practically impossible to address in text lol

and what about passing to the lasso side? can it be done without worrying about the spider? thanks man, keep posting things, great stuff to learn!

@@JonThomasBJJ Would love to see that counter.

김정윤 Basically the same pass just few small differences on the loop out. Message me on IG or Messenger and I will send you a private video specific for that situation :)

let me know your IG ID or messenger or let you know my e-mail : jy757575@gmail.com

Jose Pagan Hey the pass is actually basically the same, just loop your hand out. Then look to throw after. In this match vs Romulo you can see Leandro lo use it a couple times in first 3 or 4 minutes. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZrWhpbeKzbDbZpc.html

Jose Pagan Also message me on IG if you want and I can make you a short video demoing it for you if you want

Crusty The dog Hey, in the link you sent Liera is playing the Romulo guard which is a completely different control because of the lapel grip. The pass I showed will not work vs that position. Not sure if the guy you were fighting was on double sleeve or Romulo guard? The way you described it if the guy let’s go of one sleeve then he is left with only one spider hook in that situation with no other grip he should not be able to off balance you and you can throw him. It’s hard answering questions through text like this though. If you would like you can film your self in the situation and link the video and I will respond to it. Hope that helps

Paul Rickett That’s a good one too but doesn’t get you into a strong pass position. It’s also pretty easy to defend on bottom in my experience.
