Hard to armbar
When youβre throwing the Heil ****** salute like Jake
Old has beenβ¦
Why study mediocrity? There are so many better instructionals out there. Even on this site.
I want my money back!
I followed the steps in this instructional and got armbarred, footlocked, guillotined and triangled 15 times in three minutes. Itβs hard to perform the outlined steps while holding a **** salute. I want my 79 Detchmarks back!
****** instruction from ****** human being
If you like to get BJJ techniques from 1938 **** Germany- this is the instruction for you! Enjoy!

Learned a lot from this for taking the neck and now I also have a nice darce for them to run into. Thanks Jake!
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€ππ»Awesome video
I love the guillotine and it is one of my go to moves during no gi training. This video series has a lot of solid details which help me make things tighter and show how to use the guillotine to transition to other techniques. Great stuff. Shields is awesome.
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€ππ»Really helped small details
I'm just a lowly white belt but this def helped me get some sweet chokes and sweeps. Love some of the darce dilemmas in here too
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€ππ»All time mma great.
Jake Shields is an mma legend. One of the best grappling based fighters ever. This system is great for those looking to improve on their front headlock.

Passing With Guillotine is very effective.
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€π€π»Great Details
Excellent training video. We train a lot of Nogi/AJJ at our gym. Jakeβs subtle details have already helped the two Guillotines I already use.
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€ππ»Best purchase Iβve made
Iβve always struggled with the guillotine choke but because of jake shields itβs become one of my favorite chokes and actually allows me to finish easier. Thank jake
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€ππ»Great technique and easy to
Great technique and easy to follow his steps. Definitely a must if you want to accelerate for NoGi game.
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€π€π»Jake Shields is an amazing instructor and this is a must have instructional on the Guillotine Choke.
I am a purple belt and I have always had a hard time finishing guillotines. In an effort to master this technique I have purchased every guillotine instructional I could find, from BJJ experts that have mastered the technique. So far this Jake Shields instructional is my favorite. I really like his teaching style. The instructional has lots of great angles, an excellent explanation of the technique and the perfect level of detail. What makes this instructional really good is Jakes insight how to transition between other chokes, like the Darce Choke, based upon your opponents reaction. You should definitely add this video to your BJJ library. Big thanks to Jake Shields for sharing his knowledge on this technique.

Great video, explained in detail and very easy to understand
Response from BJJ Fanaticsπ€ππ»Been waiting a long time for this and am loving it!
I've been a huge Jake Shields fan for a long time. I've tried to learn his guillotine attack style for almost a decade! I'm very happy with the details he shares to get this attack to be painful as well and effective!
