Renzo OG: Arm In Guillotine From The Closed Guard

Executing the Renzo Gracie OG arm-in guillotine from closed guard involves a unique grip that engages both the chest and back for a more effective submission. The technique is as follows:

1. Start by recognizing the opponent's attempt to square up in your closed guard, which neutralizes your angles.
2. Bridge your hips up and guide your opponent's hands upwards, then quickly shoot your body at a 45-degree angle over their shoulder.
3. Trap the opponent's wrist with your left hand, causing them to counterbalance and bring their head into guillotine range.
4. Simultaneously threaten with a Kimura grip to keep the opponent low and focused on defending multiple attacks.
5. Retract your bicep and use a thumbs-down technique to ensure a tight fit around the opponent's neck.
6. Open your guard briefly to spin into the guillotine trap, keeping the opponent's head on the floor as a fulcrum.
7. Move your forearm in to make a strong hand connection for the inverted palm-to-palm grip.
8. Instead of leaning back, rotate your chest towards the opponent's head to tighten the choke and force a quick submission.

This approach not only secures the guillotine but also creates a dual threat with the potential for a Kimura, making it difficult for the opponent to defend effectively.
