I love that this is also a tutorial on how to help prevent being guillotined while taking someone down. It really helps contextualize how so many seemingly deep guillotines on UFC are just casually escaped from or let go of.
This is actually very useful, I just started to use guillotine more and more, and I feeled like I'm always tapping people in the wrong ways. This detail that you showed really helped out and made sense for some of the position I was in, Thank you.
Now that was really helpful Coach! I love to do Guillotines to defend takedowns but I always wondered why was it not effective on high level people))) Will try to kill with this some folks next time :D
Yeah eventually at a higher level you would be wise to just grab for under hooks rather than go for the guillotine. They can just finish a take down on you if they are aware of the guillotine. Good grapplers use the guillotine as bait.
🔥Very nice work, Bro 💪🏽 The Guillotine one of my favorite technics 👊🏼When you’re explaining in your Videos excully difficult technics, it is getting for me much easier to understand them… Amazing work what you’re doing 💪🏽 Greets from Germany to China 👊🏼🔥
That's a gem on the theme Ramsey! I had been viewing about it recently but this fully made the concept (which is generally important even for other techniques) sunk in in my mind for good.
Nice detail. I'm currently working on guillotines too. You need to bring the choking elbow back too after connecting high on the chest. Don't flare the choking arm elbow. I had some issues with that
Coach, could you possibly do a video or explanation of the "Ayaka lock" submission used by Ayaka Miura in her fights with one championship? Been trying to figure this submission out but cant find anything on it in detail.
He's humble, he strides to evade vanity. Being humble in life is powerful. A lot of us would go under the radar and not expose ourselves to self criticism. Powerful, very strong.
That is the 'secret' of Chimaev's victories - he cranks up and down vertically to control other fighters - he uses it often through his bouts from the few I hsve seen.
I need to try this. I actually have the reverse problem where I can't get the tap if my arms are high but I can get it easily even on a strong skilled guy if his head is near my hips. It takes minimal arm energy and I just drive my hips forward. The key is that I have to have the leg that's on the side of his head forward so that he's more towards the side of my body. If I have the opposite foot forward it will not apply the correct pressure and I just lift his whole body off the ground without him tapping. I'm also using the inverted Gable grip I learned from a 10th planet video. The inverted Gable locks in both hands is stronger, and it shortens your arms to tighten more without biceps. I'm not saying the method you just show doesn't work. I haven't done it that way and done correctly it probably works great. I'm definitely going to try it because sometimes it's easier to get to that position. It's always good to be able to submit people using different variations.
This actually works I thought of Ramsay’s advice of lowering your body in this video ( as well as some of the second piece of advice ) and was able to get the tap on one of my training partners who usually whoop my ass when it comes to takedowns
Lowering your body into position is probably a better way of explaining a concept I’ve always used for my guillotine I’ve always thought of it as trying to sit my body weight on the back of my opponents head I would even practice doing the guillotine with one arm or just trapping their head in my armpit and making sure I have gravity going where I want another excellent instructional as always
Yep. Good stuff. I learned off a guy named Joshua Janis on the Globetrotter RU-vid. He has a great RU-vid seminar that completely changed how I view choke mechanics
I don't practice martial arts (yet), but I still greatly enjoy technique instructionals such as this because I find the physics and mechanics of grappling fascinating. Thanks, Coach, for all the great content over the years. Keep it coming.
@@ACIIIL_extracts-zr5wz haha, someone got mad really fast. yes, I have a nerdy profile picture but I actually train and I can fight. whereas the OP does not, so no I'm not a hypocrite. keep getting mad.
@@ACIIIL_extracts-zr5wz I do have friends outside the gym buddy, you don't know me, but you can keep letting your blood pressure rise and keep getting mad lol. I got you triggered, so I already won this battle.
The space feature is one way to explain it. I guess for many people it might still be difficult to understand if you just say you go full body weight on opponents neck. On the floor he's getting sandwiched between the ground and your body.
I haven’t had that problem myself, but if you’re getting blisters from barefoot training, you might want to spend more time barefoot throughout the day to acclimate your feet to their natural function.
You might want to cream your sore legs after the training (after washing). I have the tendency of getting hard skin on some spots and they then press into the flesh below. This caused me to get blisters under a thick layer of skin. Polishing it off often results in it getting too weak. Thus, the best course of action seems to be: 1) don't overdo it. Get your feet used gradually 2) take care of your feet 3) in general be careful with what shoes and socks you wear (if you got already have problems, training will likely make them worse).
Even though Way of the Dragon was just a movie, Tang Lung (Bruce Lee) had his hands low when he finished Colt (Chuck Norris) with the arm-in guillotine in, but at least he lifted himself up, twisted away, pulled his arm across & leaned back, which also tightens the hold, it was more of a neck crank than a choke as he broke his neck. Edit: this reminds me, do you have any plans to do any more "Fantastic Fictional Fight Scenes" videos? Those were great.
Damn, so this is how khabib got out of that one, arm too low and he kept his knee on the inside while justin was against the cage, he had no chance to bring his hips where they need be.
This is my number one go to move when someone shoots on me . As someone is shooting on you, you are going to be into that position to get the choke in. They're actually forcing themselves into the choke. Love this choke.
It's crazy how there can be so many variations and changes to the guillotine. This came out at a good time too, been working on my marcelotine recently Edit: would love to see your thoughts on the Von Flue choke as well :)
@@RamseyDewey Thanks! I watched it already but im curious: since it's mainly with the arm on the outside, do you think it's possible to set it up from an arm in guillotine as well (the guillotine in this video), or is it only really doable with the arm on the outside?
Hey Ramsey did you see me sparring? Now I got the guillotine in my arsenal! Keep the videos coming brother. By the way if you ever want to come here and train with me my home is open to you. I think we could make some great videos together. Then I can come to your gym and train there!
I just saw your latest sparring videos. Still leading by example- nice work! That would be amazing to traían with you. I hope all the travel limitations of the world get sorted out soon.
@@RamseyDewey Thank you! If you want me to do a breakdown of your students or yourself sparring (boxing) I would love to do that! Absolutely!! It would be a real honor to meet you! We are even going to be a doing a StreetBeefs Philadelphia in the spring, that I will be hosting. It would be awesome if you could make it to the event.
Off topic but how do you deal with pain in the Achilles tendons after training ? A few weeks recently after my trainingn session where i trained my footwork and did alot of bouncing and lunging, after i rested i realized my Achilles tendons on the right leg felt terrible (i fight orthordox). Is this normal or am i doing something wrong ?
Be careful dude. I have Achilles tendinosis and it’s chronic and long term. Take some time off if you need to and look into specific strength / stretch exercises. See what works for you, just don’t ignore it like I did
@@jaketheasianguy3307 walk around your house barefooted and in your heels, The Bioneer has a really really good video on strenghting tendons and longevity
@@jaketheasianguy3307 it’s been 5 years now and I still have it but it’s way better. I got it from working security (standing all day in flat boots) and sprinting in flats. I just do shadow boxing and body weight exercises 3 x week now. The best thing is to listen to your body. See if stretching after your workout helps. If it’s sore definitely cut back or take time off. Maybe even take up something else in the mean time while it recovers. After resting and when it feels better look into stretching and strengthening exercises. Good luck dude.
This is the kind of thing that makes me believe ogs like rickson when they say latter generations suck compared to them. Details always get lost over time.
When you say that you haven't been tagging high level ppl, do you mean super stubborn people? Or that the higher level belts "know better" than to tap to it?
Martial arts rule no 3: _If the mountain doesn't come to the prophet, the prophet must go to the mountain..._ I've never been trained in this move, but the one time I tried it, I ran into the same problem and my solution was to use my other arm to essentially pull up and close my other arm. It wasn't as effective, but it still worked... Regarding the *takedown defense,* I've seen something that is probably faster and potentially meaner: a neck crank by grabbing one arm from below and using it as a fulcrum to press down on the neck and twist the spine. I wouldn't be surprised if it could actually injure someone badly if you just do the sprawl and let yourself drop on him while doing this sort of neck crank... This brings me to a question regarding MMA: the guillotine could also be a neck crank (especially if you act as if you want to lift him up by leaning backward and turning your upper body sideways by a bit). Is this variant forbidden?
Oh you weren't side crunching and rowing your arm in guillotines? You be surprised people who don't do that but this comes from a guy who submission wise really only has guillotines and leg locks in submission offence. I guess more proof that humility is the greatest asset in training.
Though I’m not (yet) an MMA practitioner I got into a little play fight scrap with a buddy of mine. Picture a drinks party with a few friends at my place. Now, we’re two grown ups having a conversation, where i really don’t want to get into any embarrassing moments. It’s a get together! There’s a time and place for everything, but not right now. Earlier that evening I watched a Joe Rogan podcast where Bas Rutten carefully demonstrated a guillotine choke, with a game changer to the move. So the guy charges at my legs, naturally takes me down, while everyone is watching (embarrassing), so I carefully say - ‘ now watch everyone, I slowly take my arm around this way around his neck, lift my forearm and slowly sqeeeeeeze…’ The boy started turning a bright burgundy red haha. I was super careful of course because I love the guy. He had a bit of neck ache for a good month after that haha. I didn’t mean to do that to him but at that time I was especially strong having to go into hard labour jobs for a few years at the time, plus I’m naturally muscley. Thankfully he’s still one of my besties to this day. 👍
@@Darryl_2023 I use the D’arce constantly. It’s been much higher percentage for me than any form of guillotine choke for a very long time. Having long arms helps.
