Defeating the Defense: Guillotine Fake Out

Counter the defense against a Darce choke from the turtle position when the opponent blocks your elbow:

1. Start by attempting the Darce choke. Your opponent will likely close their elbow to their body to block your elbow and prevent the choke.
2. Shoot your left hand around their neck as if going for a Guillotine choke, but instead of a regular grip, insert your hand super deep, making them feel the threat with just one hand.
3. Your opponent has two choices: either they hold on and potentially tap from the pressure, or they defend against the Guillotine, which is what you want.
4. If they continue to pin your elbow, squeeze to submit them with the deep Guillotine.
5. More commonly, as you apply pressure, they will release your elbow to defend the Guillotine. This is your cue to act.
6. Once they defend the Guillotine, their hand will come up to control it. Use this moment to free your other hand.
7. Shoot your now-free hand through the gap created by their defense, returning to the initial Darce choke setup.
8. Give your opponent a turn to adjust their position, reinsert your hand, clasp your hands together, and finish the Darce choke.

This sequence uses the Guillotine as a fake-out to open up the defense, allowing you to return to and complete the Darce choke.
