TECHNIQUES:
1- GUILLOTINE DEFENSE – SITTING BACK: When your opponent has a guillotine lock on your neck, his aim is to bring his hips close to you and lift up at your neck for a choke. To keep him from doing so, this defense is simple. All you do is sit back and allow your opponent’s momentum to roll over you, unwinding the choke.
2- GUILLOTINE DEFENSE – SLIDING DOWN: This front headlock Guillotine defense utilizes a sacrificial throw or Sutemi-Waza to propel your opponent into a forward roll to the mats. This is not only a great technical counter but it is also important for training yourself to turn out of the guillotine to the top position before the opponent has the opportunity to do so.

Once on the mat, use your defensive pulling hand along with your forearm blade to pry your head free from the lock.
