Halfguard guillotine defence

[Riku Calderón]

Hi all you 10th planet jiu jitsu maniacs!!

First of all I want to thank Eddie and the whole 10th planet for improving my game!

Second of all I want to say sorry for my english writing skills. Im from Finland so let us all forgive me...

I have a problem. At my gym people don't really know 10th planet tekniques. So when i do lockdown in half I usually get easy double under hooks and whip up. Sometimes guys sit up in my half. When that happens I sit up with them and take the under hooks or at least one under hook (the meaningful one). Now the problem is this! There are couple of guys who take wicked guillotine on me when i post up after whip up. And its arm in of course (they do know how to use the wizzer on me). Then they just sit and wait for me to do the old school. When I do that i'm dead!

I did try to find video or something to deal with this but did not find any.

Do i just have to abandon my primary road when there is wrist under my chin and try electric chair or something? Please help me in this one.

Thanks ahead!

keep the ear closer to their abdomen and good posture. the guys that snap on a guillotine fast and tight still catch me but a lot of the time the posture prevents their sub and if they persist i usually switch to a mechanic sweep. just a white belt but hope this helps.

You really need to strengthen the double unders and it starts back at the whip up.
Watch Einstein's all stars dvd special features where he covers whipping up basics, using the whip up momentum tuck your head deep into their abdominal region and in the centre of your underhooks, squeezing tightly to remove the gaps your opponent uses to get in.
It doesn't happen often at all but when someone strong manages to posture up from here I hold the double unders and when they attempt to force their way through I take old school or move to dog fight and transition from there.
This is just the opinion of another white belt but I havn't been caught with a guillotine from this area in I really can't remember.
Hopefully that helps.

LOL, sorry guys been busy today. The best suggestions have all ready been given: Mechanic Sweep (for arm in guillotine), Boa series are great for preventing the guillotine, also the Electric Clinch to Electric Chair is another great option as well.

If they're a darce/necktie player, your main focus is never let them connect their hands. Bringing the mechanic my first option to test his reactions, then either finish or transition. If he connects his hands you have the hardest escape possible.
