Single Leg Attempt to Guillotine Defense with Double Leg Takedown (Intermediate)

Professor Lucas Lepri teaches how to defend from a guillotine when trying to go for a single leg takedown. Lucas and the opponent start standing up and tie up. Lucas moves in for the single leg but the opponent immediately pushes the head to the side and tries to go for the guillotine. Lucas defends by moving the opponent’s leg from the middle of his own to the side of the guillotine. He lifts the leg and then steps in and cups the back of the knee on the other leg and pushes forward to take the opponent down. Lucas takes the opponent down and then finishes in the side control position.
