InGrappling, Front Headlock — Guillotine Entry Game.
Problem
Front headlock already established on a turtled partner.
Tell the room
Thread the chin arm into a closed guillotine structure under the chin. Stop the thread before the grip closes, or break it inside three seconds.
Setup
Front headlock already established on a turtled partner. Both confirm full encirclement before the clock. Turtled under the established front headlock.
Score
Establish a closed strangle structure under the chin (forearm across the throat, grip closed, elbow pointing up) and hold three seconds without the grip being stripped. Strip the threading arm before the grip closes, or break the closed grip within three seconds.
Rules
- Elevated safety tier — resist the threading arm (wrist strip, elbow push), not the throat itself.
- Reset when the guillotine structure holds three seconds, when bottom strips or breaks the grip, or when the front headlock is fully lost.
- Default rounds 3:00.
- May not stand up or sit out.
- Tools named by source: wrist strip on release, elbow push before the forearm rotates, aggressive chin tuck.
- Same reset rules.
