Reverse Grip Adjustment to Finish Arm In Guillotine Choke

Arm In Guillotine Chokes can be an excellent submission to have in the arsenal. They can also be one of the more frustrating moves in BJJ. At least in the beginning.

I've seen so many people in Brazilian Jiu-jitsu try and finish the arm in guillotine choke and just not quite have it. Either because of angle of the body or the grip they have around the neck.

In this video I show a grip adjustment you can use to finish the arm in guillotine choke. I've called it, and have heard it called, the Reverse Gable grip. So that's what we will go with for this video.

Now the grip looks a little strange and probably will feel a little odd when you're trying it.

But give it a try. Grab a partner and use the grip adjustment and see how it works for you. I suspect that you will be surprised by how well the grip actually works to get the finish.

Again thanks to Elliot for the BJJ question he sent from Instagram.

5 years of BJJ and had never managed to finish an arm in guillotine... until today. Hit it twice in one training session thanks to this video. Game changing advice Chewy this is going to get a lot of use!!

I've been subscribed for a few months now but just wanted to comment again and say thanks for all the great content man! I learn a lot from the time you take to break everything down.

good! I’ve hit this twice on the mats in the last week so hype

[edwinleon]

Thank you for this i usually arch back and can't never get the tap will definitely try this.

[mthrstr]

Thanks for this! I've lost this technique too many times.

Frank Mir has a great breakdown. That rotation of the forearm is crazy good

[raderws]

So twist the arm instead of pulling up and back. Thxs man that help.

Great instructional! I can't wait to try this grip out. If your opponent brings his hips up and you sweep him to mount, does this grip work well from a top position? Or do you switch off to a standard guillotine without the arm in?

[niveaulimbo]

Thank you thats extremly helpfull and works pretty well

[kivosanli]

love the Guillotine! Do you use the same grip if the arm is not in? Thank you for great content. Really helpful!

Rocking the baby on your side (pulling thumb to the opposite shoulder), NOT leaning back flat on your back. (Note for myself)

OK Chewie I finally got the grip. BUt is this a blood choke or Air or neck crank. What part are you choking with and where ??

[quasar]

My question ?? If the arm is not in can you just use the regular gable grip if you're flexible. I have seen other high level guys on ytube do it both ways. I have long arms

[FJEL]

Awesome! Hey Chew do you have any tips for things that I can do to improve my squeezing power?

[josesalas]

That's my uncle! Thanks to this Now whenever we roll I'll have better grip & it'll be harder for him to beat me! Haha

[akayokalumba]

Alot of people don't explain how important the grip is

[everythingcanwork]

excatly what i wwant to find :) thanks

[paragon]

Did this come from tyron not being able to finish wonderboy with this? lol or did the guy really just need help.

[tkmfischerman]

Can this be finnished in a sprawl position like the d'arce?
