Class 19 - Hook Sweep - Guard [GU-28]; Guillotine Defense [GU-32]
Hook Sweep - Guard -
If
your opponent leans all their weight forward from Stage 4 drop them
to Stage 1. If they stand in Stage 4 without leaning any
weight,
kick them to Stage 5. If they are leaning forward from Stage 4 but
have one leg forward for base you may have difficulty dropping
them
back into Stage 1, and this is precisely when you would use the
Hook Sweep to reverse the position.Technical Slices™

Guillotine Defense -
When you establish the clinch, your opponent will get desperate
and attempt to grab anything that will make them feel more
secure.
The Guillotine choke is one of the most common techniques used by
unskilled individuals because it is simple and it gives them
a
feeling of control during the chaos. Although proper clinch
positioning should prevent the Guillotine Choke, your opponent may
surprise
you if your head is too low. In this lesson, you learn need a
reliable escape technique.
