Rear Naked Choke

(Redirected from Rear-naked choke)
Rear Naked Choke - The performer must have access to their opponent's back to pull this off. From there they curl one arm around the their neck, bicep against one side of the neck, forearm against the other. Then the performer tugs it close and place the hand of the choking arm on the bicep of their other arm as that arm comes up behind the opponent's head and touches their hair. Last, the applier tucks their head, expands their chest, and squeezes.
Oftentimes MMA fighters use their legs as 'hooks' for leverage. To see a great example of this popular MMA move, check out Matt Hughes versus Frank Trigg I!
