From Diamondback Jiu-Jitsu

September 23, 2026

Having trouble finishing the guillotine choke from guard? A small adjustment can make a big difference.

Professor Matthew Jones of Diamondback Jiu-Jitsu demonstrates a no-arm guillotine from guard and breaks down the details that help make the choke work. Instead of rushing to grab the neck and falling straight back, he shows how to sit up to the side, scoot back to improve your position, secure the neck, and create the right angle for the finish.

He also shows how to adjust if you accidentally fall back and explains how your arms, elbow, legs, and body position work together to finish the guillotine.

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gyms, belts and nationalities are pieced together from public and community sources, so some of it is incomplete, outdated, or flat-out wrong.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.
