do you like that one? (personally it's one of my favorites, next to a perfectly executed suplex)
we've seen Cormier devastate a few opponents with this takedown.
being a big fan of wrestling, and slamming people in general, i really enjoy watching Cormier fight.

... but in the bjj gyms we often hear that head on the outside single (or high crotch) is a "dangerous" move, because of the guillotine potential. that's true to some extent... if your opponent manages to collapse your posture and get a proper hold of your neck, then it's most likely game over. but like most things in grappling by making a few minor adjustments to your hip and head positioning, you can avoid the risk and destroy your opponent with relative ease.

i wanted to share two videos by my brother, a wrestling coach to Miao bros pro team and ex-husbands of Angelina Jolie (?), where he shares some great details about avoiding guillotines and proper head and body positioning.

how to avoid guillotines and tips on proper positioning.

nice possible truck entry off that back take

Judo used to call this te-guruma, or the hand wheel, (this would be a variation off the original technique)
Few years back they changed all the naming of this throw, and all variations, to sukui-nage, the scooping throw.

banned from judo comp because of the leg grab, it was a killer technique in pre-2007 olympic tourneys.
