Also known as: guilho
Finishing an arm-in guillotine the arm-out way: hips forward, leaning back.
Why it failsWith their arm inside, arching away only loosens it — arm-in is closer to an arm triangle, and their trapped shoulder is what presses one carotid.
FixPull them in close and drive your shoulder down with your elbow pointing at the ceiling, instead of bridging your hips away.
Squeezing with the arms and leaning back.
Why it failsArm strength alone is weaker than their neck, and leaning back gives them the pass to side control.
FixFinish with hips and chest expansion, keeping them bent forward and off balance.
Holding it as they walk to the side.
Why it failsThey pass to side control while your arms stay on the neck, and you lose both the choke and the position.
FixFollow the head with your hips, or release and re-guard rather than getting passed.
