@ricyorb That's exactly what happened to me.

@ricyorb if you keep your head high and near his armpit, its impossible to get caught

[ricyorb]

I thought the head was supposed to be sunked into the other guys belly because if you place it on the side like in this video you are prone to get guillotine choked. Can anyone clarify this?

@Mabimanta Yes and no. If the person getting taken down can keep him in his guard and get an arm under his neck, yes. But if the person executing the takedown can get into half-guard or side control, it'd be very hard to be finished.

great technique, very under-utilized

[Mabimanta]

isnt that reversiable with a guillotine choke ?

Probably won't work on an experienced wrestler. But this is definitely a good takedown after lots of practice.
