About this video

When attempting a collar drag that fails because the opponent bounces up and ends up in front with their head down, transition to a guillotine choke by taking the back of their neck with the opposite hand and replacing it with your shoulder. To secure the position:

  1. Move your legs out of the way and reach for the far corner of the opponent's body to prevent them from turning or rolling away.
  2. Walk your legs towards north-south while pulling your elbows towards your hips to apply the choke.
  3. Adjust wrist position based on partner feedback to find the correct choking pressure.

If the opponent starts to escape the guillotine, you can use the momentum to transition into a loop choke:

  1. As the opponent pops up, apply an arm-in guillotine grip while maintaining the collar grip.
  2. Use the collar grip to apply pressure without choking, potentially finishing with the guillotine or transitioning to a sweep.
  3. Crush the opponent's head down, bending them around your choking arm, and sweep them over the post of their arm.
  4. If unable to sweep in one direction due to their post, switch to the other side where they have no post.
  5. Ensure your shoulder replaces your knee on the side you're sweeping to, allowing for an effective hook sweep.
  6. Force the opponent to respond to guillotine pressure, and as they move their body to the opposite side of their head, sneak your arm out.
  7. Go inside their arm and find the far side of their body, pulling them down into a loop choke.
