Spider Guard Leg Lasso Pass:
It's important to stay active.
Try to have one hand free.
The arm that is lasso'd: The hand circles to the outside of the thigh. The free arm cross grips at the ankle and pulls the leg down to the ground and initiates a smash pass. One hand stays at the knee while the other comes up the back to grab the lapel behind the neck. The grip on the back lapel has to be tight to keep the person from hip escaping away.
When the hand cannot be circled to the outside of the thigh, force half guard and with the lasso'd hand grab as far up the bottom's lapel. This will keep them from extending out and creating space to do moves like omoplata. Sapao said from this position to just keep good pressure and wait for the opportunity to pass. Once the pass is complete, if the grip cannot be broken on the lasso'd arm, put the knee on the face or chest and posture up.
Sapao recommended to drill the duck under drill when the bottom person is playing foot on bicep. You can transition to a armbar right off the pass as well.
For the guard pass I use off defended omoplata/triangle. Head on the outside of the leg with my arm cross holding the same leg. Keep the elbow tight in the crotch to prevent armbars. Also, if possible grab my own lapel with the arm that is holding the leg. If not, the arm is an acceptable grip as well. If person posts against shoulder/head to prevent pass, stand up and pull the leg with the grip and stack the person on their head.
For the last pass the person may roll and try to get to their knees. When this happens spin around the head to the other side. This can be done with the last two passes if not all.*Lucas Leite* seat belt off torreando. *Same Concept
A concept Sapao told me about was the willingess to smash. For example if someone is playing open guard, instead of engaging straightforward, grab the ankles, pull them into you, and smash them over. You can hold them in a smashed position by pinching your knees on their hips.

Mount: Brabo Choke
From side control when someone has their forearm posted on my throat. With my underhooking hand I push the elbow across their body and trap it against their head like an arm triangle. I take out his lapel and pass it to my crossface hand. From there I mount and loosen my grip on the lapel as I move to S mount I loosen my grip on the lapel so that I can bring my forearm against their neck. From S mount I fall to my side and push their arm across their body to finish the brabo choke.

Guard Pass: Death Pass Off Leg Drag
From the leg drag position instead of pass towards the back I pass towards the trapped leg. I get a collar grip and grip the pants at the butt with my other hand. I bring both my knees in between the legs and make a wide base, stretching out B. I put my left hand on B's bottom leg at the knee and hold it as I walk towards the head. When I feel ready to pass I sprawl my hips out and clear the leg. From here I move back towards B's legs to trap the hips. I use the shallow collar grip to create pressure on B's head and keep them from turning into me.
Guard Pass: Leg Drag Options
Double guard pull.
We both have RDLR hooks on the thighs.
I grab a two on one grip on the ankle of the pants. I straighten out my hook and drag the leg to my right hip. From here my hands go to the knee of the trapped leg. I turn towards the side of the trapped leg and bring my knees to the ground. I then shift over laterally to drag the leg across.
DLR:
As I go into the open guard and B tries to get a DLR hook on my right leg. My right hand shoots down along my leg and I block B's ankle grip. My hand should actually be in a backhand position so that my palm is blocking the grip. From this position I walk into the free leg and place both hands on the knee. I fall to my side like I would an ankle lock. My right hand stays at the knee as I place my left hand on B's toes. I can use my hand to create pressure on the foot for an ankle lock. To get the leg drag I go to my back and grab the pants at the ankle. I lift my hips and drag the leg across. I turn towards the side of the trapped leg and bring my knees to the ground. I then shift over laterally to drag the leg across
If they are sitting, come in and scoop up the leg at the heel and drag across.
If open guard I get a cross ankle grip. My same side hand goes to the foot and I push the foot towards the hip to make the leg create a perpindicular angle. I jump forward and drag the leg across.
A control grip from the leg drag is to grab the opposite side collar to trap the leg between my arm and hip. My other arm can get a same side underhook and grab the lapel behind the neck. As I pass, I use my same side underhook to put B on their side. My left knee comes up to the back of B. I can use the position to control or take the back.

Side Control Attack: Arm Trap
I am in side control on B's left side. I have their left arm trapped with my right underhooking arm and grab my lapel with my right hand. My head is tight to the arm to keep it in control.
Americana Attack:
B may try to bring their arm around my head to post off my throat. I follow the motion of the arm and catch the wrist with my left hand. From there I lock up an americana and finish.
To block their arm from coming around my head, I lower my my forehread to the ground as I follow the motion of the arm. A common reaction will be for them to try and shrimp out to create space. As they shrimp out I put my knee on their chest. My left hand posts on the floor behind their head as I bring my left leg over their head. My right shin stays tight to their chest as I sit back with the straight armlock. It's important to hook the head with the leg.
Sometimes the far side armbar is a more viable option. A common reaction that happens is when I go knee on chest and post my leg out, the bottom person reaches across to grab the knee. The far side armbar is still possible, but B's right arm will be in the way blocking my leg. They can use their free arm to peel my leg off of their head or defend their arm.
When going for the far side armbar, I keep my knee on their chest and windshield my foot to the other side of B's arm. This way when I go around for the far side armbar I am able to trap B's head effectively.
