If your opponent won’t go down from the snap or front headlock, don’t force it—switch to the guillotine.
In this short, you’ll learn how to transition when your opponent stays heavy or reaches around your hips to wrestle up. Instead of fighting strength with strength, switch to a tight chin strap grip, lift to create space, and rotate into position while controlling their back with your leg.
From there, lock in a powerful guillotine finish by crunching your elbow to your hip for maximum pressure.
The key here is chaining attacks—don’t rely on just one option. The front headlock is a hub for multiple submissions and takedowns, and this guillotine is one of the most effective counters when your opponent defends.
