Can you do standing chokes like a gullotine in a judo tournament?

Absolutely, however the chance of your opponent tapping whilst standing is narrow.





A good Judo player will simply slam you while in the guillotine to escape.(Think Carlos Newton vs. Matt Hughes) (Not to mention it is hard to get on ANYONE standing, you pretty much have to take it to the ground to get the leverage needed to really apply the choke. Guillotines are one of the easier chokes to escape from.





But yes, you can do standing chokes, and depending on the tournament standing armbars as well. Though again, harder to do in practicality.





However you will see flying armbars, and flying triangles at Judo tourneys at the advance level.





But yes, if you can get it, you can do standing chokes, but the likelihood is much smaller, especially against someone already trained.





Hope that helps.





Of course this is provided that you are talking about Senior level Judo and not Junior level (below 16)





Good luck!|||Yes-but they are often times only allowed at the brown and black belt level and do not happen as frequently as a choke applied when opponents are on the mat wrestling or vying for leverage and a position of advantage.|||Yup. And if you think it%26#039;s easy to get out of a standing guillotine on the mat, then you should see just how much easier it is to get out of one in a real fight out in the streets. Just give him the good ole groin shot with your fist, since it%26#039;s in front of you anyway, then either take him down and pound on him or try to lift him up in a fireman%26#039;s carry and do the airplane spin and drop him like a sack of potatoes in a body slam with you on top. Then you can get up and kick him to your hearts content while he%26#039;s down on the ground : P|||Technically it is legal, but it is very difficult to get an opponent to tap from a standing maneuver. Also, referees are instructed to call Matte quickly if there is no immediate effect from any kind of standing submission attempt.|||its possible. but not going to happen unless your alot taller than your oponent
