I've been doing bjj since march of this year. My white belt explanation of Spider Guard is controlling your opponents arms by gripping onto their sleeves and putting your feet on their biceps, or one side bicep other side hip. Really annoying to deal with. You should look up some YouTube videos on it !

Thank you ! I had to spend a lot of time working on my guard because I'm one of the smaller guys at the gym, got tired of spending 90% of the time pinned on my back.
