Guillotine Choke While Standing and By Pulling Guard

In this video, Professor Matthew Jones breaks down how to set up a guillotine choke from a standing position by controlling the wrist and head, creating space, securing the neck, and anticipating your opponent’s escape. He also shows a common mistake people make when moving the head and explains why positioning matters.

Once the grip is secured, watch how he steps to cut off the escape, pulls guard, turns into his opponent, and applies the finishing pressure. It’s a simple sequence, but the details can make the difference between losing the position and getting the submission.
