2 Part Lesson — Marcelo thwarts the Spider-Guard: [I] If your opponent assumes Double Sleeve Control (two mirrored, ipsilateral grips) and tightly secures both Spider-Hooks (e.g. Stirrup & Lasso, i.e. Foot-On-Biceps and Shin-On-Biceps, Lariat & Pedal, with Cat's Paws, a.k.a. Pocket-Grips, Cuff-links, et al.), immediately find counter-grips to help stabilize your balance and stifle the opponent's explosiveness in the position. After finding your footing and gaining a neutralizing traction, take away the pushing power of the foot on your biceps by Dead-Lifting the opponent up off the mat, or at least to a point where they can no longer find an angle to kick your arm as you stand with your posture locked upright. Remain here until the opponent's Spider-Grips loosen up in tension, thus allowing you greater application of defensive postures; if the Lasso weakens, circle your hand under the knee and to the outside where you can apply the inch-worm break. Don't allow the opponent to re-grip your sleeve; remove your sleeve from reach and implement a reset or pass. If the Stirrup falls off your biceps, free your hand from the sleeve-grip by pinning the inside of the opponent's leg with your knee or squatting your thigh over their shin. You can now double-up and rescue the Lasso-Side Spider-Grip or stuff the knee to begin a Knee-Weave/Circle-Pass with a Collar-Grip. [II] After dismantling one side of the Spider-Guard, you have the option to either pass via the Inside or Outside. Win the inside-space with your knee against the inner thigh and drive across with a Single or Double Knee-Cut (or Knee-Slice, Knee-Through, Knee-Slide) Pass; win the outside by forcing the opponent into Butterfly and implementing a Leg-Over Pass or a Folding Pass.
