Guillotine Choke – Counters and Applications
The Guillotine choke is an attack that can be used against us by practitioners of jiujitsu, mixed martial arts, and even relatively untrained individuals because of its simplicity. Properly applied, this choke can render a person unconscious in a matter of seconds, so it is imperative that we know how to prevent and escape from the choke to build our self defense efficacy. As a component in the “To-Shin Do Ground Flow kata” (technique number 7) we should strive to be competent at applying and countering this movement on the ground.
