After the usual warm ups etc. we tried to understand the beauty of the spider guard. So in open guard you have both your legs in the biceps' of the one in top. If the attacker has knees on the ground a fairly easy sweep is to move one shin on his hip/stomach and push on the leg that is till on the biceps. Simultaneously pull on the other side arm and roll over to mount. Should he be standing you can try to get your leg from under his hand to his biceps. Again put your other side leg's shin to his hip but this time pull him over you and somersault to mount.
This video shows a mix of the techniques we had in the class:
We had some guard passing from open guard, but no luck with using the sweeps. Guess I got sweeped a few times. Good that someone is learning! Couple rounds of free sparring in the end as usual.
