Don’t try to grapple if you don’t grapple at all.
The guillotine choke, also known as Mae Hadaka Jime (前裸絞, “front naked choke”; compare to a rear-naked choke) in judo, is a chokehold in martial arts and wrestling applied from in front of the opponent, often on the ground but can also be done while standing. The choke involves using the arms to encircle the opponent’s neck in a fashion similar to a guillotine
The technique is either a type of tracheal compression restraint (wind choke) that prevents airflow to the lungs or a blood choke depending on how and where pressure is applied, the trachea versus arteries respectively. It can be applied both standing and from the ground and can be used as a defense against a double leg takedown. When executed from the ground, the person applying it will try to control the opponent by the hips, for instance using a closed guard. This is done to prevent the opponent from escaping the hold and to be able to apply additional pressure by extending the hips. It is a very effective maneuver when performed correctly. The arm is wrapped around the trachea and the hands are clasped. Pressure is applied upwards to restrict blood flow to the head, eventually causing unconsciousness and, if applied for more time, even death. It is taught in various grappling martial arts and is considered universal to grappling, including Jujutsu, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Judo, as well as in mixed martial arts competition and exists as one of the most instinctive chokes.[3] The Guillotine can be applied either solely around the opponent’s neck or including an arm, with the standard guillotine taking 8.9 seconds to render someone unconscious and an arm-in guillotine taking 10.2 seconds on average
“Dynamic No-Gi Passing And Attacking” DVD is an instructional that features one of the best organizational systems I’ve seen. It helps you get an idea of what the goal is before you start opening up opportunities. Jason Rau is a master at making the transitions between different avenues of attack seem effortless. The instructional itself is long, lasting a total of 215 minutes. That is a lot of material to go through. What’s even more impressive is that here’s no time-wasting. Rau demonstrates every move in a simple and understandable fashion.
The Saddle, AKA Honeyhole, AKA inside senkaku is the worst position you can find yourself in. Escaping is notoriously difficult and there’s a 
In terms of the DEEP X guard, where do I start? The opening few attacks are nothing new, featuring shoulder rolls, and Tomoe Nage variations. However, the position itself is far from the regular lasso guard, meaning each of these attacks is virtually risk-free. Moreover, there are four different Tomoe Nage variations to choose from, a couple of which leading directly to passes. Further options include back takes, and this is where things get interesting. Apart from various ways of getting the back, there’s also a quick and easy calf slicer setup. Moreover, there’s even a back take that ends up in a calf slicer. As I said, the ultimate Jedi mind trick collection.
All of his sweeping options, from the sit-up sweep all the way to the side and tilt sweeps offer subsequent attacks. It may be a knee cut pass, a way to obtain the mount or a direct submission like an armbar. The trick with each is to keep on going and scoring until you get a win, one way or another. And, just to balance things out, there’s also a Kimura sweep to an armbar so that you get a direct submission.
With this choke, the secret is in the grip. One arm that goes around the neck just likes for a guillotine choke. However, now you connect your palms in a butterfly grip, rather than the ball in socket or palm to the palm. To be more precise, the arm that goes around, comes on top of the free arm, rather than vice versa in a regular guillotine. To that extent, the choking arm now is the free arm. The goal here is to shove the fist of that arm into the opponent’s carotid. This is very similar to an Ezekiel choke with the Gi. In all honesty, both arms work for a choke here, but the pressure you feel from the fist is overwhelming.
Keenan Cornelius offers two finishing options here. One is to tilt the opponent to the side and finish from a top side control-like position. Another is to actually sit down like for a guillotine and allow the opponent to drive into you fro common guillotine counters. However, they don’t work against this choke. All you need to do is roll on the side their head is pointing for the finish. Choking mechanics include squeezing like a guillotine, pressing like fro an Ezekiel and twisting like for a loop choke.
The bottom position is not something you want to use on a regular basis, but the Diesel Squeezel does open up new opportunities. You could hunt for it from the closed or half guard, and even the butterfly guard. In fact, if you use a leg over form any guard, like for a guillotine, you’ll geta quick and efficient tap. Where I particularly enjoy using the choke though, is bottom side control. Whenever you can get a guillotine-like grip with one hand, you won’t get many reactions from an opponent. As they think they’re safe. However, all you need is that one hand since your other is already close to your chest. A small bridge or hip escape (or both) will help you get the Diese Squeezel grip. From there, you can proceed to roll the opponent over like before and wrap things up quickly.
Rounding things off Keenan Cornelius offers as a standing variation of the choke as well. Since many people like to hunt from the front headlock when standing in No-Gi, this is the perfect opportunity for a setup. Instead of looking for guillotines or Darces, simply put the Diesel Squeezel grip in and you’re good to go. When you have it in, drop to the side of the fist, and do a gator roll. You’ll end up both getting a takedown, earning the top position, and finishing with a quick choke.
It is probably redundant at this point to talk about the history of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but here it is anyway. Before the Luta Livre Vs BJJ rivalry began and wrestling was the grappling art of choice in Brazil, a man named Mitsuo Maeda arrived in the country. The famous Judoka was on a mission to spread this Japanese martial art across the world. He ended up teaching it to many people, but none stood out as much as Carlos Gracie. However, Carlos was not really satisfied with the ways of Judo and decided to modify them in order to suit his small and skinny body. Later on, he taught his brother Helio which eventually, took those modifications even further, giving birth in the process to the art we now know as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
After his impressive performances against fan-favorite Pinduka, everyone touted Ruas as the man to face the Jiu-Jitsu champion, Rickson Gracie. In fact, since it was in the 80’s Rickson went to Ruas’ gym to challenge him, as he was already looking to move to the USA. When Rickson And Helio Gracie arrived at the gym, Ruas did not want to fight straight away. While he did not decline, he asked for some time to prepare. Rickson wanted to fight right then and there and they argued. One of the Luta Livre fighters decided to jump in, saying he’d fight the Gracies any time. This man was Hugo Duarte.
The Creating Kuzushi DVD instructional by Israel Hernandez begins by exploring a key Judo throw – the Morote Seoi Nage. Israel uses it to paint the Kuzushi principle in detail. Moreover, the first disc also covers the Uke Trap Arm, otherwise known as the Whizzer in wrestling. Disc two goes into the Uchi Mata, Hernandez’s favorite move. OF course, this time the focus is on creating Kuzushi rather than only dissecting the Uchi Mata. Part 3 covers grip fighting on both sides before the final one goes into the Palanca concept that makes everyone feel powerless.
The first chapter is all about traditional grips but on the opposite side. Israel doesn’t just offer grip dynamics, but also entries and ways to establish the dominant ones. The second portion goes into the same side gripping, with the focus on sleeve grips above anything else. The final chapter also addresses the same side gripping, but this time, it is botх the collar and sleeve. Moreover, you get to learn how to transfer grips between the two without ever losing the option of creating Kuzushi.
Style-wise, Priit is definitely an unorthodox guy. So far, both his previous DVDs were unusual in both naming and technical lessons. His first one was the “
This is the volume where Priit MIhkelson actually turns his offense on. After knowing the inner working os of the Sitting Turtle system, practical application, and deep understanding of the mechanical aspect, you have guaranteed safety. That means that you can focus on attacking since there are no more threats coming your way.
