Whether you call it the Marcelotine, Makenzietine, Swickatine, Prayer, Loop, Front choke or by it's most common name, the Guillotine choke has proven itself to be one of the most dominate finishing holds in both the Grappling and Mixed Martial Arts worlds.

Try it out and let us know how it works for you.
