From the crucifix to the guillotine

Transitioning from the crucifix to the guillotine involves trapping the opponent's arm with the inside leg and using the leg to kick for momentum to rise and secure the neck. The finishing position is directly behind, not to the side. To execute the move:

1. Chamber the leg that's trapping the arm and release the opponent's hand.
2. Kick the leg to generate momentum to rise onto the hand and flip the leg over.
3. Reach for the neck with a cupping guillotine grip or extend through for an inverted rear naked choke (RNC).
4. Turn the hips into the opponent's neck to apply pressure.
5. If only the hand can be captured, use it to lever the elbow and apply tension across the neck and upper back.
6. Ensure the weight is anchored on the opponent's elbow to prevent movement.
7. Various grips can be applied from this position, including full twisting grips.
8. Footwork is crucial; use the kicking leg and the hand as a base, and pivot to the ball of the foot when turning over to drag the opponent's leg out to the side.
9. Keep the inside leg active and curled to the opponent's arm, stepping the other leg on top to maintain control.
10. When ready, chamber the leg, drag the opponent's arm out to the side, and drop to the forehead to finish with the guillotine or set up for the inverted RNC with a flat-handed grip.

It's important to be cautious with training partners as this is a dangerous move with a lot of tension on the neck and upper back.
