Submission · Side Control
A counter-choke: your shoulder drives into the side of his neck and his own choking arm closes the other side. It works when he holds a guillotine from the bottom and you have passed his legs to side control, so he can no longer pull you into the choke with his legs. First make your neck safe: pull down on his choking wrist and turn your head so your throat is not on his forearm. Then settle chest to chest perpendicular to him, sprawl your hips low and drop your shoulder into his neck, keeping his arm wrapped around your head. The pressure comes from your weight through the shoulder, not from pushing with the arms. If his legs are still around you, the guillotine wins: pass first. If he lets go, you keep side control; if he turns in to recover guard with the arm still on, defend the guillotine. Drop the weight gradually: he may not feel it until it closes.
Partner holds a loose guillotine from guard; you pass to side control and set the shoulder without pressure, 8 reps each side.
He may not feel the choke until it closes: add weight gradually and release at the tap. If his guillotine is already deep, tap first.
