A quick review...
To defend a standing guillotine choke--
1- HEAD UP! Would you rather be punched in the face or choked out? Hopefully, you can avoid both! But if you want to stay conscious in a fight, keeping your head up will make it trickier to grab.
2 - LOOK UP! If you do get caught looking down, arch your back and look to the sky. This will help you slip the choke and put your attacker's arm in an uncomfortable position.
3 - ARM OVER THE SHOULDER! To finish the choke, the bad guy usually needs to arch his back. By pulling down on his choking arm and throwing your free arm over his shoulder, you can keep him closer and make arching more difficult.
If your attacker gets frustrated and sloppy, you can also try throwing your arm over his head and turn the tides with a simple step-behind takedown.
Of course, never underestimate the guillotine! Even if you don't get choked, you can still get your neck wrenched.
So, focus on preventing trouble and keep your head out of danger! :)

Good to see you two together! Thank you!
He’s a true gentleman. Thank you!
I appreciate your teaching style very relaxed and easy to comprehend thanks alot!
Thank you for the comment!
Simple and to the point. I love the simplicity of your counters. Thank you!
Great vid, great collaboration. Right, who wore the squeaky shoes?
Ha! The ground was wet... we share the blame. :)
The squeaking was dubbed in with youtube editor.
InstaBlaster
Great video and explanation: lesson learned here: do not attempt to put a standing guillotine choke on a Polish man, they bite! Don't do it!
HA! 😄 Polska power! 🇵🇱
It's glad to know we compete in a very good way. Still become friends. Still learn to each other. It's a not one man show. Bravo sensei Ando!
We are stronger together, for sure! :-)
For street fight scenarios like that, use your free hand & just hit the balls.
That can help!
Wat about women eh?
For women who really wana choke you seriously, still use your free hands & just grab their parts! 😉
Lol 😂 2 birds with one stone
I agree, a good hard punch to the grapes will make you forget all about how tight your grip is up top. It should buy you time at the very least.
This is great! Thanks for showing this! The martial arts world needs more of this. I know your a lung fu guy, but I love how you brought a grappler in to show how get out of grappling situation. Keep it up!!!!
I like your spirit! Yes, let’s all work together!
Some very interesting points as always, and instant good mood too 😉 One of the things that I have learned from training in self defence that would generally be overlooked in wresting/sports of that nature, is "Inserting Strikes to the Technique".
Meaning where I would absolutely study the life out of this, I would always add a "Softener" to the Technique. Where? Initially when you are looking up to defend against the grabbing, I would do that and at the same time strike the groin with my closest hand - to discourage him from pulling your neck up and pressing with his hips.
You could also insert that strike as you grab his wrist with your other hand, if he has the hold, and then put that arm over the shoulder and continue the technique.
"Inserting" "Softeners" can really go a long way in self defence.
Just thought I'd add a bit of my own advice. As always, massive respect to you and your channel, and your teaching.
I totally agree. Adding strikes always helps, especially when hitting the groin area. It causes your opponent to flinch which creates space.
Yes and yes! Striking and grappling should work together. Thank you for the comment!
@@dannythorne7143 But it might also make the opponent angrier. Never rely on strikes and pain, rely on leverage.
When I transitioned out of the USMC. Ended up in Santa Barbara California. Ended up becoming homeless. There was this dude named Ron Pedersen (another homeless person). Who didn't like veterans too much.
One day. Ron decided to confront me.
Ron. Came up to push me. He was obviously trying to fight me on his terms.
He attempted to push me again, and received a judo throw over my left shoulder.
Ron, unfortunately had no judo training and was slammed down on the concrete sidewalk.
Fortunately.Ron did not suffer from anything other than complete humiliation.
As things turned out. I gained the reputation of giving people a flying lesson.
Being trained in basic hand to hand combat techniques. Learned some very important facts.
You evaded before you block. You block before you hurt. You hurt before you maim. And you maim before you kill.
Why? Because life is precious!
I'm definitely not a billy badass, even though I have been actively training in the martial arts since 1975.
What I have learned is that you de-escalate before you employ martial arts training.
Use your brain first slick.
@@michaelhanson4811 Massive respect. Yes looking back on it now a few years on, I have to agree, I think that evasion should absolutely be the first intention, instead of getting locked into straight away
I like the counter take down you have for the guillotine very cool 💯
I respect Stephan's honesty in his teaching. He is confident and knowledgeable, but realistic. Can't ask for much more than that.
Agreed!
Thanks for the video sir, gonna practice it
Excellent! 👍🏼
Excellent video, skill and escape! I love it!
Thank you for the kind words! 🙏🏻
Hilarious jokes! 😂Keep up the good work!
Keep your Head High,
Look to the Sky.
Reach Over,
Grab a Shoulder.
Sit on their Knee,
Set Yourself Free...I'm Practicing this NOW!!! 😇
how about a song to encode this? like an oral kata :D
poetry at its best
lol
Isn't that a song?
Lol reads like song lyrics.
innertubez that’s exactly the point
I needed to see this. This is being used alot in my school and just in case for street fights. And wrestling obvously.
My years of Martial Arts training were a major waste of time apparently, the comment session thought me that all I need to do is two things and I will be unbeatable:
1.BITE
2.HIT the NUTS
If only someone had told me years ago
HA! 😄
Bite the nuts
Depends on what you were learning and for what purpose. If you spent years learning 'how to block' then yeah, wasted time.
The arm over the shoulder helps, but that arm can also be used to attack the groin or that arm can support the other arm keeping the choke from being tight and then shoulder roll against the attackers hands to break open the choke
Thank you for the comment!
Thanks, I can defend my classmates that can defend in my classroom.
Defending friends… you’re awesome!
Thanks!
Excellent tuition thanks 🙏
Stephan looks like Hitman 2's character. :D
Thanks Ando & Stephan!
Ha! I think you’ll take that as a compliment.
Sure xD
Thanks ! Ando and Stephan , God bless You'll 🙏 .
Bless you, too! 🙏🏻
Great video!! I’ve been waiting for Stephan to make a video like this. Thanks guys!!
Ha! I’ll have to check... he MUST have covered this before somewhere! :)
Thank you for these good advices
My pleasure! Thank you for watching!
Another great video! This might be a very useful technique to use in self defence, though I hope I'll never have to. Thank you so much! P. S. I hope Mr. Kesting got his tooth put back together.
Crazy how it’s the simple things that can injure you! Thank you for all your support, sir! 🙏🏻
Great tips
Thank you!
I'd start with a Thai clinch and knee my opponent and go for the choke after the knees soften him up.
Go for it!
If he knows what he is doing he would pull you down and your knees will be ineffective worsening your case
Another option is grabbing the wrist with both hands and pulling down with all your strength, and tucking your chin into the crook of his elbow, thus protecting your windpipe. Then you apply your follow-up moves.
Absolutely. Different timing and angles open up lots of options. Thanks for that one!
Thanks for the comment, sir!
Michael W Something to think about, and consider.
@@mattthompson4868 That is why I teach thumb breaking early. He is absolutely right about turning the head to protect the windpipe. And you are right that no matter what you choose to do, staying calm helps. Also training for fear is best.
Good moves! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
Martial Arts Demonstrations 101: Make sure your partner is smaller, lighter, and weaker than you are!
HA! 😄
It depends on the practioner 😉
You definetely won't be standing guillotine someone bigger and stronger than you... Be real lul. The demo is meant for smaller ones
Steven Seagal
Right. These are not the best defenses.
Once you reach over the shoulder move your to that side making a T with his body and yours. Your pelvis to his hip. Breaking his posture with knee bump. Taking him to the ground then use forearm choke to break the head lock if necessary.
Thanks, sir!
you could also bite his forearm if you get caught in the hold while tiger clawing him in the face.
True! And those choices are roooted on the same basic hand and body positions. Thanks!
Lol
Awesome video!
Thank you, Christyle! 🙏🏻
I ENJOY SWORD FIGHTING NAKED
Dom sannie
ah that is a really STUPID statement and easy to see all vulnerable parts = i would castrate you in less than a heart beat = dumb and stupid - sheng dow fa ! = your out !
This guy is a hell of a fighter
Stephan has deep roots!
it's a good technique but I think it's not easy especially if the choker is bigger and stronger. Is it possible if you lift the opponent and smash him on the floor like a sufflex move they do in the wrestling?
Your move sounds like you need even more strength! 😄
This technique works well even on bigger, stronger opponents. I have practiced this technique on bigger guys. Once you have wrapped your arms around his head and drop down, you have a tremendous amount of leverage to your advantage. It does work very well.
Fireman's carry. Most don't think of Greco-Roman as a marital art but..... it is. After 4 or 5 years, it is very easy to snap a neck or back.
Greco-Roman is no joke. 👍🏼
Best defense is a good gun. Not available? Go for the balls!
That beginning made me laugh out loud and I'm on a film set. Damn you.
Ha! “Cut! Who was that? You’re fired!” Sorry…
Ando Mierzwa lol it's all good. Love your channel.
Thanks very much!
Defend it standing? Oh well that's easy! Simply sit down 😂
Try it with me and you will be in a emergency room
knee to the face and double knee bombs to your chest = your dead !
Stephan Kesting is such a nice guy
True! :)
First! Yay!
You win! 😄
Flawless Victory! LOL
having cervical arthritis, a degenerated disc and 9 pinched nerves, even watching this video makes my neck hurt.
Sorry for your pain.
Biggest fan

Greetings from the USA! :)
+Make It Super I'm actually bigger.
Ha! :D
If you block the knee it keeps them from moving their hips forward and finishing. You can then move to the side you are pulling the shoulder down and knee tap for the take down.
Thanks!
Brilliant!!
Just what I needed 👍
Thank you for watching!
Eye jabs are a fight ender , but the "experts" with ZERO upper body strength don't know what they are talking about .
That was pretty good, thanx.
Thanks for watching, Brian!
yo that was really good
Thank you very much!
You guys have too much fun ....nice. No...more fun and learning gentlemen
Thank you for the comment, sir!
Here are your options. One of my buddies was a former soldier turned military contractor, who trains with a former seal. In any scenario, look for tge closet target to inflict the most pain. This scenario, i would go for the balls, the eyes, and like my buddy said "if you can grab the ear, rip that mother fucker off"
Thank you for the comment!
I hate to say this, but I think I'm addicted to fighting. I'm glad I have a lot more mental structure than I did in my twenties. I lived in Vegas for 6 years, I was in so many street fights, I had no idea what I was doing, but I never lost. Now I'm 35, I know how to fight, I know jujitsu. I'm also naturally just a good fighter, because of growing up with two older brothers that beat everybody up. I was smaller and I had to learn technique. These days I laugh if somebody wants to fight, it really isn't even worth my time, but if they want to strike first ....its going to be a very long night.
Could you do some videos on how to escape rear bear hugs, full nelson etc.
Slowly, but surely! 👍🏼
Good stuff...thanks
Thank you for watching!
Ben Askren who 's a well known Wrestler didn't lift his head when he went in on Jorge Masvidal and he never saw what hit him! #Peace
He fell for the bait
Because your head has to be low when you initially shoot
@@ficedulamortis6434 Ben never really got the chance to look up w/ Jorge being so quick to hit I guess?
James DeWeaver nope. You look up once you have the legs in your arms, then drive forwards. Ben didn't get that far unfortunately
That was a scary shot.
This is great for a spontaneous BJJ match on the street. If however, I get caught in a guillotine choke in a street fight, thumbs are going in eye sockets.
HA! 😄
In a real fight, if he is gorilla strong
he will lock it in tight and drive forward trying to pin you to a wall
Usually they go down and out like a sack of cement and get their head punted to comatism.
However, the technique has potential.
I love this chokehold.....😘someone comes at you , you move fast they trip don't hesitate to do this chokehold stand your ground and get ready to put that pressure 😂don't stop until the fight is in your favor lol..I've done this plenty of times when I've felt my oponest are stronger or bigger peple that have sweaters....are so easy to get a chokehold
The sweater choke! That can help.
I usually just use the inside hand to straight punch up into the groin...
Great vid; now that you're done , breathe baby, take a deep breath!😂
😄
Thanks for this guys, question, why is this hold called a rear "naked" choke, what is a dressed choke then!
Also, would it be better to once in the hold as the victim, pull the assailants hand/arm down and using your free hand attack the groin area viciously! Just a thought.
My guess is “naked” refers to only using the arm, as opposed to using fabric or a baton. As for controlling the choking arm, absolutely! That’s a must. And groin shots are always worth a try. Thank you for the comment!
Biting or hitting someone in the balls may hurt them, but there is no guarantee that the person is going to let go, especially if they’re full of adrenaline. Maybe you take a chunk out of them and crush their nuts, but they just have to hold on for a few more seconds to knock you out, at which point you’re as good as dead. Good video, escapes are way more important than cheap shots!
It’s all works together, for sure. There’s no magic trick!
if it is in the street - a groin strike or a grab of the balls and squeeze = but you must be quick and strike hard - there is also an accupressure point on the jaw just under the jaw about in line with the corner of the mouth ! good luck and thank you for the great video and - heads up top of the class !
Thanks for the tips, sir! 🙏🏻
You are working much too hard.
What if your trying to pick up or slam them
This actually get even funnier when you're stone !! What a show 🤣🤣
The wok
I wonder how khab8b got out from gulliotune from porier
Watch the Gracie Breakdown!
These are real movements...
Thank you for watching!
there r ways to get out. When ppl over-complicate techniques to counter every offensive move that's when the problems begin. Bruce Lee advocated simple but effective moves.
I’m all for simple and effective!
How about if your in a deep standing guillotine and there sprawling ,dropping down at the same time riding out the head ?
You're in big trouble. :D
Street fights are more dangerous than MMA fights. In a Street fight there is no referee and no rules. When you tap I don’t stop until I hear that pop. If I’m this close to your liver but unable to deliver a strong enough punch to hurt my hands are conditioned to pinch your liver until you need an ambulance.
3:00 Forcing your Arm Into the Gap you just made like a Diver Prevents Purchase on your Neck, then you can Suplex
Suppose you had eaten a half cooked beans and get choked,,mmhh fttng too much.
This is good and clean, but they are just trying one way. I have taught AKJ-Amerian Kenpo for fifty years and we have street combat. Me especially because I am 5'2" and slim. I would turn take a chunk out of his side, gator style. I w ould also give a swinging upward fist to his groin. Being small, I'm not about to wrestle with the guy.
Sifu
Isolate a finger and break it. Don't stop there..go for a second finger and break that also. That probably won't be necessary, but don't waste any time. Stay calm and be confident in your plan (you don't have much choice). A broken finger changes priorities from choking someone to self preservation very quickly. It's about nerve endings and spontaneous reflexes. Have you ever been accidentally poked in the eye? ....same mechanism.
Thank you for the comment!
4:30 I know a place where sparring sessions start in this position
As a former street fighter , i know what works. One factor its not play fighting. Its life and death. This would include accidentaly killing someone or being killed because you think you study the arts but don't apply if you run across a real fighter. Dont take advice from the jabronies as they will get you killed. More lesson on how to use your mind to avoid conformation.
Avoidance is always number one!
implying "street fighters" know real fighting aka mixed martial arts
One scenario that always gets overlooked is using your surroundings. Like driving they guy to the nearest wall or pushing him to ongoing traffic. For me that always work, by giving him a bigger threat to worry about
Running someone into a bus… well done! 🚌😁
Thanks Senseis! Always great tips you both!
I’m happy if you’re happy, Leo!
Just FYI The plural is Sensei is Sensei. No s after Sensei in the Japanese language.
The best way to escape this is for the guy in the choke to finish a take down to side control it instantly relieves the pressure.
I was caught in this position trying to break up a fight in a supermarket. My free hand went straight for his balls, I clinched HARD, he let go, I DRILLED a left elbow and he fell clinching his neuticals.. I walked away.
Glad that worked out!
Cool story bro.
Is really hard to come out of headlock
No
It's not who does the right thing first
But all counts within the plethora
JEET KUNE DO ! ! !
I LOVED THE VIDEO
THANK YOU ...
Thank you for the comment!
Do I get Cash if I am allowed to teach people to break neck
If you weight 60 km I open your hands even if your Jiu-Jitsu worldchampion get some strength or all of a sudden you get knocked out
Thank you both, another excellent video and great tips! 🙏
I really like the acknowledgement of what you can do to them, they can also do to you. Who is faster, who is better trained and experienced, who makes a mistake first...Grappling is like chess, each side has the same pieces and capabilities but it comes down to awareness, strategy and correct application (paraphrasing my old bjj professor).
Edit (hope Mr. Kesting is ok! 🙏)
Chess, indeed! Full contact speed chess! 😁
😁 That's the best kind! Now, if only I could find 31 other people to participate...
@@Msosbog HA!
With the free hand drive the fingers up deep into the eyes
That might loosen things up a bit… and then do everything else! Be careful!
Excellent. Loves Kesting explanations and down to earth style
Me, too! 😁
*You could also use The Bitting Technique like Mike Tyson :) 8P*
When you pivot after raising your head just grab his shoulder and throw him to the ground... it is simpler and easier if you are not as strong as the other guy.
Yeah if u walk up to someone like a duck with your chin out 100% u wont get guillotined cuz theyre gonna get ktfo lmao
Strike balls tuck chin chin on wrist nerve pull down on forearm spin in
All right!
Good defense technique and useful, thanks
Thank you for the kind words! 🙏🏻
@@AndoMierzwa It is nothing 👍
More simplistic idea, just bite his body.
Right uppercut to the balls
anybody who grabs me like that is going to lose his balls . simple everything else needs proper training .
On #3, once he pulls down on the choking arm, can the defender strike the opponent's groin with his other hand?
You can always give it a shot!
Great
Thank you, sir!
