TECHNIQUES:
1- PAPER CUT CHOKE: The paper cut choke is a tight submission you can find when your partner tries to hug around your back from north-south. The way your elbow cinches down under his chin acts as a paper cutter, slicing down like a blade. By the time your partner realizes there is a choke on him, it’s too late! He must tap!
2- GUILLOTINE CHOKE FROM TOP OF SIDE CONTROL: The guillotine is a versatile technique. While traditionally, you attack guillotines from the top of north-south or the turtle, you can find it from many positions. In this example, you will hunt for the guillotine from the top of side control. When your opponent faces you to try to come to his knees, trap his neck, and finish the guillotine!
3- GUILLOTINE CHOKE FROM TOP OF SIDE CONTROL VARIATION: There are several variations of the guillotine. This one starts the same as the last technique, but you will step over into a mount to finish it. This will ensure your opponent cannot get to his knees to defend the guillotine.
