Move of the Week for the Week of April 5, 1999

You're tackling your opponent... But he gets you in a guillotine choke, and he's too big for you to lift him off the ground to use the 3/22/99 Move of the Week.
Continue driving forward. Wrap your right leg around your opponent's left leg and force your opponent to his back. Your opponent may still maintain the choke after the takedown.
Brace against your opponent's body with your left hand and pivot counter clock-wise around past your opponent's head. As you cross over his head, his grip will loosen. You will be able to pull yourself free and strike or put some distance between the two of you.
