Halfguard guillotine defence

[FRANK BARCA]

You got to be prepared to defend the neck at all times by framing until you are in the right spot to get to dogfight or for Old school, but then again going back and forth ( dip setting) is always necessary always remembering not to ever let them get their left arm around your neck at all times, especially against gangster guillotine fighters in the dojo. I have spent ages on just good habits in halfguard ( Thankyou Brent Little). A combination of all the suggestions is great I think. Boa has to be really low and the use of your left arm to swim in to mechanic and back again to old school or dogfight is key for me surviving the attack inside my own half guard. You cannot break concentration ever inside that position. As a guillotine enthusiast, I know what I am looking for to take the choke into effect. Then I just reverse engineer it to work on the defences to it too. Works most of the time but you can still get caught...thats what makes it jiu jitsu!

Thaks to you all for the advise!

I think I now understand the mistake. I haw been too committed for the old school. I just haw to abandon that road and do something else. I think I start to drill the mechanic next.

Thanks

LOL...Sorry for dbl post guys...I thought I was properly using the "embed video" method, but evidently not

The best part about hitting the mechanic sweep is that it makes them more hesitant to leave their arm inside. As soon as you block their hand grip they'll grip fight to get their arm out before they get swept again, they totally back off of the submission attempt just to block the sweep.

Old school is exactly as the name implies...old. It's good on the fly, but with even a hint of it coming at you it's pretty easy to stop. All the good troubleshoots are listed here, I prefer the Boa myself, if they're gonna commit to the sub that much, I'll take the sweep with my head in and work it out once I have position.

Compella: Do you have any competition videos of yourself, I know way off topic but I didn't wanna start a whole new thread.

The tips were great ! they worked great but i get caught ocassionally still are there any last minute things we can do once there on top and have a guilotine on ? e.g. some sweep straight to side control or some godly move which can unlock there hands ! or even something that keeps them from finishing it ?
