1 Part Lesson -- Marcelo counters his opponent's Guillotine-Choke while seated: If your opponent latches onto a Front Headlock against your Butterfly Guard, try to sweep them overhead with either of your hooks, but resurface into top position with your head high and not stuffed low underneath your opponent; you may find an opportunity to swing your arms and obtain North/South top position. Otherwise, look to defend yourself from your opponent's guard and keep top Side-Control. However, if your opponent attempts to fall back and pull guard against your seated position, immediately look to follow them up and execute a quick pass to your safe-side, i.e. towards the side in opposite of the one in which your head is placed inside the choking threat. This movement can be accomplished in many different ways, e.g. Back-Step, Heavy-Circle, Jumping, et al., but the main idea is to clear yourself from your opponent's legs and find a way to disarm the threat safely from top position.
