Principles Of The Guillotine

So, What Exactly Do You Get?

Outline:

Working Title: Mastering the Guillotine

Overall Philosophy:

  • Seeking to submit or improve position
  • Self-defense/MMA context (or Sub only) – aware of possible strikes

Introduction:

  • Left or Right side (I stand Left so my Left Guillotine better)
  • Offensive (head snap down, vs Seated &½ Guard) &Defensive (against TD, hip heist, 5 finger against guard pass)
  • Grips (Arm-In, No-Arm, others).  Explanation and Pros &Cons
  • Control (head &arm)
  • Submissions
  • Follow-Ups

OFFENSIVE SCENARIOS

  • Snap down
  • Turtle (alternatives 🡪 Armbar 🡪 Backtake  🡪 CJ Spin Around 🡪 Peruvian Necktie/Anaconda)
  • Guard Passing (seated, ½ guard).  Confidence &ability to extract right leg

DEFENSIVE SCENARIOS

  • Takedown Defense
  • Hip heist from Guard
  • 5 finger Guillotine vs guard pass, head leads


My Preference (“Fox Guillotine”):

I prefer No-Arm guillotine (BUT will take what opponent gives) due to:

  • Body positioning next to opponent (easier to control &sweep and maintain shoulder forward)
  • Can sweep (“cement mixer”) either side or switch to UDE GATAME (either side)
  • Shallow = ease of entry
  • I control both carotids !

Negatives are: -      Easier to be countered with Von Flue
