In this 20 minute video, I cover the main battles you have to win in order to dismantle each component of the spider lasso guard, prior to setting yourself in a stronger and safer position to set up various passes.

This video covers the different ways of dismantling the lasso portion, as well as the spider/foot on bicep portion of the guard. I believe it's important to have more than one way to deconstruct a complex open guard, as competition proves to show that every individual guard player will be stronger in different areas of open guard. Some guard players will be really competent in stopping you from circling your hand to their hamstring, whilst other guard players will be really diligent with not letting you pummel their foot off of your bicep.
