worm guard question?

[thewhiterooster]

I'm a brown belt. got me a question. does anyone here play worm guard? since most of us start our sparring on our knees, does anyone have any tips on how to get the lapel through and under the far leg (when we start on our knees)? how do you get your opponent to stand that far leg up so you can lasso the lapel through and go on to complete the worm guard? any tips appreciated.

You set the spider guard. Then treathen with a sweep to force them to stand up.

Then switch to de la Riva then feed the worm .

Keenan uses the gubber guard instead of the worm guard against people who stay on their knees.
