3 Part Technique - When it comes to eluding the guillotine, taking preventative measures is the easiest solution. There are several areas where you should be mindful of such an attack, especially when executing the Single Leg Takedown. Keep your shoulder shrugged and tight to your ear; but If he happens to wrap around your neck while standing, and places your head under either of his armpits, immediately hike him down to the takedown. If your head is under the armpit of the same side you've taken the single, jump to the opposite side where he will no longer be able to finish the choke. If your head is under the other armpit, to the opposite side of the single, quickly throw an arm over his shoulder before he has a chance to shelf his elbow onto your shoulder for the finish.
