Guillotine Choke System | 3 Guillotines and the Best Escapes

Guillotine Choke System | 3 Guillotines and the Best Escapes

From 10th Planet Colorado Springs

June 15, 2026

This video covers a full guillotine system, including 3 different BJJ guillotine variations and the key escapes you need to know.

Coach starts from standing, going over guillotine defense first. Then the video builds into guillotine attacks off the single leg when the head gets pushed outside, and off a head snap into the double leg. From there, Coach covers how to defend the guillotine and come out into cross body control.

The video also covers the worst place to get stuck: closed guard with the guillotine locked up. Coach breaks down the details that keep you safe there, including not allowing the triangle and dealing with the butterfly hook.

If you want a practical guillotine video that covers both the finish and the escape side, this is a strong one to study.

It's a mess, I know.

My goal is to build the most comprehensive BJJ encyclopedia anywhere — but good, accurate data is genuinely hard to come by. Records, gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.

That's where you come in. If you spot something off, tell me and I'll fix it — every correction makes this better for everyone. This website wouldn't be possible without the community.
