@@hatebreed516 this guy is awesome! No need to watch catch wrestling. Those guys are far behind bjj nowadays.

​@@hatebreed516former catch wrestling here, no need for catch if you follow his instructions.

Shoot with good posture; the hips lead, not your head or hands. When you make contact, you should be looking at his chest, not his legs.

Honken thanks, is putting your head inside, like on a single leg, more effective at avoiding guillotines than head outside like a double or high crotch? I've tried both and don't really notice a difference.

No problem! Theoretically, given that your posture is good, head on the inside should be safer as you're posting your head on his chest, making it hard(er) for him to bend you forward and expose your neck. However it should be fine either way with good posture. Remember, the goal is to lift him up or run around him, not to push him backwards. It's the "I'm going to run him down with a double leg"-mindset that often leads to bad habits like reaching forward with the hands before making contact, leading with the head, bending over etc. Stand normally, lower your level without leaning forward, shoot your hips forward and take a penetrating step through his legs and behind him, slam your chest/belly/hips into him, wrap your wrists around the back of his knees, circle around him and tip him over or lift him up and slam him.
