Recently, Ryan Bader hit this choke on Vladimir Matyushenko and perplexed commentator Joe Rogan, even though he had called the exact same choke when Chad Mendes strangled Anthony Morrison. From there, squeeze and hip into the side the choke is on. When trying to finish this guillotine, it is best to get either a full guard or the half butterfly mentioned in the Marcelotine description. While most arm-in guillotines, including the ones pictured above, simply have the arm hooked along with the necks, sometimes a fighter has captured both the head and arm under a single armpit. On to the next guillotine, the arm-across guillotine. Jake Shields and Ricardo Almeida are well known for the ferocious arm-in guillotines in the jiu-jitsu world and it is has carried over into MMA quite well. Here are some GIFs, note how the fighters lean into the guillotine. While it is possible to finish by leaning backwards, it is much more difficult and requires more strength. When finishing an arm in guillotine, it is important to lean into the neck, instead of backwards. When the guillotine is all neck, the fighter should extend his hips while pulling back with his arms. This guillotine works with an arm in or out, and is finished with two different motions. The next guillotine I'll look at is the basic guillotine from full guard. This flexibility makes the move even more dangerous and one of the most valuable submissions in any grappling art. The Marcelotine can be used from a variety of positions, including mount, side control, top half guard and an assortment of guards. This guillotine is one of the quickest ways to put an opponent to sleep, attacking both carotid arteries and shutting off blood almost immediately. Two more important things to know about the Marcelotine is that it is a rapid choke and can be used from many positions. When a fighter tries to roll away from the Marcelotine. When done right, the person being choked has a few options: Either get finished from that position, pass to the wrong side and make the choke exponentially worse, or roll and risk getting mounted and finished. The person attacking with the guillotine should utilize a butterfly hook on the side of the choke (the lower elbow side) while throwing their other leg over his shoulder on the other side. Instead, a half butterfly is recommended. When doing a Marcelotine, a full guard is perhaps the worst guard to finish in. This derives pressure from the oblique muscles as well as the arms twisting into the neck. When done properly, the person doing the guillotine will do his best to push his inside elbow (the one doing the actual choking) down towards his hips while the outside elbow raises up towards his chin. Two important notes about the basic Marcelotine (this variation of the guillotine has plenty of variations itself) is the angle of the choke and the guard. Most high level competitors who attack with guillotines use this variation. The first style of guillotine that will be scrutinized is my personal favorite, the Marcelo Garcia-style guillotine, or Marcelotine. The guillotine literally has thousands of variations, so I'll be highlighting a few of the most popular ways to finish. The first choke I'll examine is the guillotine choke. While the rear naked choke, or Mata leão, is complex in its own right, the point of this post is to give an overview of the front chokes and examine what makes them unique. If you look back at the submissions of the past year, a vast majority of them are chokes, namely the guillotine, d'arce, anaconda and of course, the infallible rear naked choke. When an armbar can get your slammed on you skull, it's a lot safer to go after the neck. In a sport where a minor decision can lead a fighter from a sure victory to a crimson shellacking, combatants are leaning towards high percentage submissions, namely chokes. In mixed martial arts (MMA), jiu-jitsu is evolving as well. Innovators like Abu Dhabi Combat Club (ADCC) bronze medalist Jeff Glover and multiple-time Mundials and ADCC winner Marcelo Garcia have completely changed the way these chokes are looked at by both fellow black belts and beginners alike. In particular, front chokes have hundreds of variables, such as grips, finishing angles and which guard is the best to finish from. In the world of jiu-jitsu, submission set ups, finishes and transitions are all constantly changing.
