Marcelo shares intricate anatomical details for finishing his high-elbow guillotine choke: Although a high-wrist guillotine may offer a better form-to-fit in terms of contour around an opponent's neck, focusing instead on placing one's distal-radial bone directly across their throat for inward crushing pressure tends to be a much more versatile and readily available finish against all body types. Seek a combination of pressures to maintain the hold long enough for the tap; a thumb-less ball-n-socket grip holding your arms together, your shoulder pushing down on the back of their head to keep it trapped, your legs to help stretch your opponent away, and your elbow shelved atop their shoulder to prevent a stacking defense. Direct all of your energy into pulling your forearm through your opponent's neck while staying in parallel with their shoulders. Remember that when you squeeze, you cannot adjust midway through and release any pressure from the hold; the amplitude or your throttle must stay at a level application until your opponent is forced to submit.
