Groundfighting

If you find yourself in someone else’s guard, they may attempt a guillotine
against you. Here are two basic defenses against a guillotine. First, avoid the
guard. If you feel the attacker attempt the guillotine, hop out of his guard,
moving to the same side as the attacking arm. If you cannot escape the guard,

make the following defense: STARTING POSITION: Attacker holds you in his
guard while he snakes his right arm around your neck.

1. The minute you feel the attacker wrap his arm around your neck, tuck your
chin. With your left hand, pluck at his hands to relieve some pressure. At the
same time, wrap your right arm around his neck. This makes it difficult for him
to stretch you out with his legs.
