2 Part Lesson — Marcelo threatens the choke against a takedown: [I] While the opponent is busy holding onto your leg, punch your forearm against his or her throat and snap the head down into a Guillotine Choke. This can be accomplished against a Single Leg Takedown on either side; however, if the leg being held is opposite to that of your dominant choking arm, make sure to raise your elbow high onto the shoulder for the finish to avoid a counter. [II] If you are knocked down to your butt, don't let your opponent lift his head back up. Force the opponent's head down by locking around their head and arm and placing your chest on top of their back. Use your hook to help lift the opponent enough so that you can switch your base back to your knees.
