High Elbow Guillotine

1. Start seated with chinstrap head control.
2. Roll your shoulder forward to create space between uke's shoulder and your chest.
3. Close high elbow grip, keeping your support arm's elbow down.
4. Go to high elbow position by turning your hip that way & shifting your head across uke's shoulder axis.
5. Hold half guard with inside leg & throw outside leg over opponent's back to stop the jump-over.
6. "Rock the baby" and hamstring curl to finish.

Keys

• Creating the initial space between uke's shoulder and our chest.
• Hiding our grip in uke's neck/clavicle area hinders defensive grip fighting.
