"We soon discovered I was getting guillotined worse than prime Marie Antoinette" - Jack Heritage, Cotswold Karate School
Hour two of my teacher client's course began with an appraisal of what needed to be covered. We did this using the most comprehensive form of attribute training available, Mixed Martial Arts. After 1 x 5 minute round we discovered that my client was getting caught in guillotines and was also susceptible to leg kicks. This lesson focused on the former.
First, we went through the basic mechanics and strategy of handling the technique and then we broke it down into rounds that we did with varying degrees of resistance:
Stand front head-lock vs posture, hook the leg, lift and throw
Guillotine submission vs tripod and pass guard
