Standing Guillotine Choke Defense With 2 Takedowns

Not having a good standing guillotine choke defense in BJJ can be a nightmare if you like to go for takedowns. If you're guillotine choke defense lacks, you'll often find that you're more prone to being gun with your takedowns in fear of the choke.
You can see the first part of this video here : • Guillotine Choke Defen...
In this video I demonstrate a couple of options you can use to defend against a standing guillotine choke using takedowns. I show a setup for a single leg takedown and a setup for a double leg takedown.
The linchpin to this defense is having a quick response early on. If your head shoots up early enough you'll have a much better chance to defending the guillotine choke.
In addition to getting your head up and back arched. You can step to the side to create angles which makes the takedowns possible.
If getting caught in the guillotine choke is a problem you have. Check out this video. These techniques have worked amazing for me over the years.
I used to have problems with getting caught in guillotine chokes, now I don't.
Hope the video helps you avoid getting choked when you're shooting in for takedowns.

I gotta say I was put in this about 2 weeks ago. Watched this video when I got home. Same guy tried it again today, he was met with the double lol. Thanks brother, you've helped me so much.

[@MUSHIN_888]

Good stuff

[@robertgalloway3923]

your wrestling knowledge mixes beautifully with your bjj! man i wish your gym was not 3000 miles away.As a catch wrestler who does alot of bjj tournaments your side of the "grapple"would be indispensable.

[@Chewjitsu]

Thanks for the comment! Where do you live?

Well if I ever find my way up in Alberta I'll let ya know!

[@chaosdweller]

I never really thought about it, like that 🤔 , but your right! I'm always either learning from people who know more than me in each discipline rather than a teacher that knows more than me at both at the same time.

Cool I got choked out 6 times trying to do takedowns at class tonight I'll remember to stand straight up

[@agarrikr2996]

I don't get chocked but I panic because I give them my chin

[@ddg-fi5bp]

@@agarrikr2996 Yeah in td things are so explosive it’s easy to panic and give free guillotine

[@dimwitsadvocate6264]

Also Doug, my guess is that it would be good to also get close with your hips while standing up, perhaps clinching him or something similar.

[@leevinson]

This is awesome advice and eye opening for a beginner who gets caught in the guillotine once and is frightened to try it again. Thanks so much

[@Senth99]

Thanks for making this video; was always choked whenever I did double leg takedown.

[@noahbrooks7713]

After he landed the double leg he could’ve got a Von flu choke thanks mate I’m definitely going to incorporate this in my drills

[@RamonChiNangWong078]

Nice! Simple explanation of using posture to break the guillotine instead of the many put your hands here or there

[@JoaniMaster]

Knowing that people have actually gotten paralyzed or even died from a standing guillotine, this position gives me chills every time I see it.

[@ProtossExecutor100]

Usually it's because of a freak accident like landing on their head.

[@nikkiflexx4115]

Really needed this, thank you!!! I love to go for a double or single leg but always leave my head exposed.

[@salil7174]

White belt here...got caught in this standing guillotine TWICE now. Not fun to be caught in it...so here I am hoping they dont fool me a third time 😌 thank you bros!

Coming from a wrestling background, takedowns are my bread and butter, but damn the guillotine is annoying

BEST video for getting out of Standing Guillotine

I looked up Arm-in defenses yesterday. This was the "best" one I found for me. Good stuff!

Awesome! Thanks for the comment and I'm glad the video was helpful.

Love the videos. Cheap up the good work. I need to work from this position more.

[@Chewjitsu]

Cheap up? ;) Are you calling my techniques low value? Haha. Thanks for the feedback brother!

[@shad3128]

This is much better than the Gracie videos that A) instruct you to lay flat to your back to "relieve pressure" or B) wrist fight and spin out of the grip..... C'mon man. Lol. Thanks for posting the real world technique.

[@andremekraju5924]

This happened to me once on the street against an attacker, but thankfully I managed to escape. Learning to counter it now.

[@Guyinhisvan]

I train this defense at my gym with a step out like you show, but instead of a takedown, we sit down and push off the thigh and bridge through with the hips. Land in side control if you get it right, but I usually throw the guy completely off me and end up in a scramble.

[@MaxLohMusic]

I'm having trouble visualizing; is there a video or name of this technique?

[@jackjack4412]

@@MaxLohMusic yes, teachmegrappling has a good video on it.

[@TonyqTNT]

Very similar to being caught in an undertow swimming off the coast of an ocean. Don't swim back in a direct vector trajectory towards the beach. Move laterally first and then swim to shore.

[@imsosohype]

i compete amateur mma with years of bjj and wrestling as my base but for the past 2-3 years have pretty much only focused on striking, obviously to round out my style but also because i enjoy striking in mma so so much. i almost never work on my ground game anymore because i’m very confident in my ability, whether it be takedown defense to stay up or consistently out positioning my opponent if it does go to the ground. this being said i was recently completely caught off guard by a short stocky guy that would jump up on me and sneak in guillotines throughout our match. he was very strong and always dropped his feet for a standing guillotine after he jumped onto me, and having neglected grappling for so long i completely blanked on a reversal technique like this. this guy threw out this standing guillotine 9 times during our match, and everytime all i could think to do was to fall and pass to side control to escape. i rarely see people who consistently attempt guillotines so i was very caught off guard, and my neck hurt SO bad the whole next week. apparently he watched my film and caught that i was rusty in this aspect. needless to say i revisit this video and others like it before my fights for good luck now, so thanks for the video LOL!

[@AirsoftDaddy]

Thanks

[@BuckyLarson69]

You can even perform a blood choke with the shoulder if they do a guillotine on the ground and you rotate to the opposite side, drive the shoulder into the neck and they will release or go to sleep.

Nice and easy 👌🏻

[@rollinOnCode]

Chewjitsu is what you are suggesting essentially a variation of duck under? A Duck under to counter the guillotine ?

[@celinreyes1983]

At the moment he cannot hold the lock my opponent is gonna go for my back or a takedown gor a side control, he is not gonna be static waiting for my next move.

[@mrsjuneflower]

when the oponent grab your head for the gillotine could be very also very safe to put one or the two hand n the knees for he dont go get the hooks no?? and if you turn your head to the reeps could be even better then you move your body to the side another choice very good your tecnics thanks for share!!

[@mr.sin-full6938]

What if you already did the take down and they have you in that guillotine

[@billyfay2443]

No gyms open means I study and work out .

[@michaelyeradi1176]

If you stand up with your head up, don’t you risk getting head whipped wrestling style?

[@lets_talk_over_tea_5162]

My issue is what if they do jump in guard with the guillotine and start climbing. I don’t think the double will work because I’ve seen this particular teammate do this move on a higher belt and they were taken to the floor by a double and still finished

[@thesanfranciscoseahorse473]

At 1:55, couldn't the opponent just not let go of the guillotine and turn slightly causing you to face-plant into the ground as you do that takedown?

[@Jm-dx9tl]

No. What leverage is he using to do that, you can’t hip toss somebody if their hips are back. You’d be exposing your own back since they’re already circling to the right. If you turn that way rather than stay squared up or turning with them you’re a goof lol

[@KINGAFU801]

He was never locked around the neck when standing lol but i dig it 😊

[@jonassteinberg3779]

Yeah. I was thinking same.

[@Lessoninablessing]

That’s the whole point of the technique/video... to NOT let him get it locked in🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😎

[@LionOfKashmir]

Vent Williams wb when it’s locked in though?

[@Airbornefighter-hr7lt]

As he explains. it had to be an immediate action drill to avoid the choke, you will feel the arm moving across and immediately posture up and apply.

[@robotech987654321]

What if the guy doing the headlock is taller than you?

[@Honeyybjj]

Wish i had watched this before my 1st comp.....😅😅😅😭 lmaoo!!💀💀 all good, learning now to apply to my future comps🤣🙏🏽 thanks for the awesome tips!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🔥

On the next video can you elaborate on the potential double, single etc? That is this seems like step 1 "Submission aversion" how about step 2?

I'll work on putting together a step two for you.

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

:) good thinking but.. good luck :)

[@andrewwizard1577]

The stand up technique doesn’t seem to help much when the opponent has the arms locked with a high elbow. Also, if you’re getting pushed against a fence and you can’t stand up this doesn’t help

[@acilz657]

I wrestle my friend all the time, the only thing he does is defend my takedown and then pop a guilitone every time, I don’t know how to stop it. Any advice out there?

[@cameronetherington6243]

I personally can never finish a standing guillotine or have one finished on me unless the person's back is pressed against the wall/cage. I find when someone shoots a standing guillotine they are trying to also pull guard so this is a great counter to it though.

[@tylerjoyner9865]

Cameron Etherington not everyone ia as strong as allistair overeem. that use to be is signature move

[@nikoa9247]

Using your hand on the jaw then sliding to the throat works great for weaker guys.. Brazillian National Champ Cesar Casamajo showed me that firsthand when he choked me with it in training. PS I have a 100 lb weight advantage and the finish took less than 5 seconds

[@joshuaespinoza5082]

@niko A - Don't forget to eat your Wheaties and drink your Ovaltine.

[@MaxLohMusic]

When the other person's back is against the cage, does that make it easier for them to choke you with the guillotine, or the other way around?

[@vomitcollecter4899]

I get caught in these way too often lol

[@mistermistermizzle9398]

when you do the standing straight up move, can you reach with your left hand and grab their right hand and apply pressure to help drive yourself behind their back, or perhaps drive them to the ground from this kimura like movement ?

[@joetalley192]

I do it all the time. I take a sumo step past the side that's attempting the choke, and catch the arm close to a kimura. Even the partners that learn this and counter it are easy to beat. Grab the elbow drop and sit into a fireman's carry. Boom. Now you've got side control.

[@nicolhard6680]

Sir you think lifting weights helps to dominate the opponent in the strength area or is it better to just roll as doing both is a bit tedious

[@Chewjitsu]

I think strength training of some sort is super helpful and important! Do both.

You stand up amd the opponent wraps their legs around your waist. This method does not work. Also the guillotine comes by using teo arms and not just one like he shows here. Just watch UFC video on standing guillotine finishes... in all of them you can this defense does not work.
