Guillotine , abuse ?

[bushido_man96]

That is excellent stuff, guys. I remember reading in the books that I have on BJJ that the instructors talk a lot about building the combinations. Getting a good handle on one move, like the guillotine, and forcing people to respect it, would be a good way to facilitate combinations training, right?

Usually built off set ups. Where they defend one move, and you play off there defense to go for another, ect, ect....

I used to have quite a bit of success with that submission. However, as your opponents get more experience, they know to defend against it. Remember, if you always go only for your so-called "bread and butter" move, you don't improve on many other techniques, so sometimes you should drop it from your arsenal and use only submissions you need practice on.

I learned a interesting move off of the, Kimura, timing sweep, Guillotine combo.

Where they defend the kimura by sitting back, so I place my hand out and scoot out using my hand that is over hooking the arm for the kimura to wrap between my opponents leg, I scoot out to the side to take the back. Seems like an omoplat is there also. Any way I found the move intersting.

It's only "raw" early on, after that people learn to defend the basic version of it and it becomes more technical.

It's a valid technique, and a good one. Most top fighters get really really good at a handful of things, to the point where they can make those things happen to anyone, even when that person knows it's coming.

You do want to try other things to avoid plateauing, but there is nothing wrong with having a favorite attack, as long as you continue to develop it as well.
