Free yourself from the dangerous guillotine choke with Nicolas’s concepts from his native martial art, luta livre. As an ADCC veteran and submission grappling expert, his unique way of defending can be the key to unlocking those tight chokes from the front headlock that so many have tapped out to.

Nicolas Renier is an expert and black belt in luta livre, a submission-based grappling art that brings its own solutions to tapping people out. Instead of the BJJ strategy of position before submission, luta livre is an art based solely in attacking submissions first and dealing with positional grappling later. This gives him a really different way of defending that BJJ fighters can learn from on these four volumes of grappling escapes.

The guillotine choke has decided world championships and been one of no-gi’s most popular and effective chokes for years, so you need ways to defend from all positions. Keep your neck free and counter back with these luta livre-style techniques that can integrate seamlessly with your jiu-jitsu. Nicolas Renier has found huge success with these moves, and you can ward off guillotines from top, bottom, and everywhere in between with these tactics.

Nicolas has taken his luta livre base to the highest levels of grappling including winning ADCC European trials and competing at multiple ADCC World Championships. Nicolas’s luta livre grappling systems are a new and exciting grappling solution that anyone can be using to give themselves a new edge on the mat. See how you can defend yourself from the dangerous guillotine choke on this four-volume series.
