I'd like to hear about that, too. Marcelo seems to be the only high profile non-wrestler type who lands it with regularity.

I was the same way. Till I realized the pressure you can create on his jaw with your rib cage. Gotta keep your base super wide and low on big guys or ya get rolled. But they have to address it. This is when they are wide open for mount. Worth a month or two.

No Ive just done a few MB seminars and a private or 2. Rafa just said that he already has a lot of go to moves from those openings and that it doesn't feel as strong of a finish for him. Wasn't very specific past saying he didn't like it much. Sorry, wish I had more. He said in general he likes head-and-arm chokes over guillotines and north south chokes because it's easier for him to close all of the space due to his longer arms. That said he Marcelo guillotined a few people when we rolled so he can and does do pretty much every move you can think of. Originally Posted by Andy Bader
