If you’ve been following the pro BJJ scene, you may noticed many top grapplers having incredible success with a certain type of pass: The bodylock pass which is also known as the double over pass.
Gordon Ryan, Nicky Rod and many other high level grapplers use that pass.
BJJ master Karel “Silver Fox” Pravec has a very powerful counter to the body lock: the Five finger guillotine.
The guillotine is a cruel strangulation. It goes fast, from multiple angles, no matter how strong you are. This versatility and speed make the guillotine ideal for sport BJJ players, who occasionally focus on moving to a terrifying degree. Looking at the career of Marcelo García, we can demonstrate the effectiveness of the guillotine in matches against well-trained opponents.
This works great as typically body lockers smash their heads in the middle when they pass. This is where the 5 finger guillotine is perfect.
