There it is: the perfect opportunity for a double-leg takedown. You position yourself perfectly, go in for the kill, and — nope, guillotined again.
You aren’t the first or the last person in BJJ to have your takedown attempt thwarted by a well-timed guillotine from an opponent, but thankfully, it doesn’t have to be like this all the time.
In this video, Alec Baulding demonstrates an effective defense for anyone who gets stuck in a guillotine while going for a double-leg takedown. Take a look and drill this so no one can slice your head off before you get the chance to get them on the ground!
