https://howtheyplay.com/individual-sports/How-to-Defend-a-Guillotine-Choke
The guillotine choke is a staple of the closed guard position, but it's also frequently used against a takedown. Both applications of the technique are among the most commonly seen moves in jiu jitsu, especially in no-gi or MMA training. While the gi makes it a little tougher to catch the guillotine, it still persists, and a general defensive strategy is well worth pursuing. This tutorial will cover defense against the basic guillotine grip, both on the ground and (starting) on the feet.
