About this video
Executing a mounted guillotine from side control involves a sequence of movements designed to capitalize on the opponent's reactions. Begin by faking attacks to prompt the opponent to give up other options. For instance, place a knee on their belly, which will likely lead them to attempt a hip escape.
- Start in side control and fake an attack to prompt the opponent to react.
- Move your feet and place your knee on the opponent's belly.
- When the opponent starts to push your knee, their neck becomes exposed.
- At this moment, catch their neck and meet your hands together to start the choke.
- As the opponent tries to block your hands, come back with your knee on their belly to flatten them on the mat.
- Use your knee to push their hips down and place your forehead on the mat to secure the position.
- Extend your right leg, lean forward, and press your hips down to tighten the choke.
- The opponent should tap out to the guillotine choke as you apply pressure.
This technique uses the opponent's defensive movements to set up a guillotine choke, combining control and submission in a fluid sequence.
