Arm Across Guillotine - The Seated Kata Gatame Study

Breakdown & Analysis on The Arm Across Guillotine, also known as The Seated Kata-Gatame, and used recently by Jack "The Joker" Hermanson to score multiple submission victories in Mixed Martial Arts.

Setup from the front headlock, the choke works with other submissions like the Anaconda, Darce and Arm-In Guillotine. While it will have you sitting back like a traditional guillotine choke for the finish, the finishing mechanics are more similar to a head and arm choke or Kata-Gatame, which is why it got the name Seated Kata-Gatame.

I study the other setups of the choke and the other transitions to the defence, including a sweep to the back and moving directly into an anaconda choke. But most interesting may be the finish from the mount, which I called the Assassin choke, taken from a wrestling move called the Assasin, also known as the Kata-Sankaku in Judo.
