Peruvian Necktie

Key principles

• · The choke relies on a guillotine-style grip around the neck while trapping one of the opponent's arms inside the lock, creating an asymmetric strangle.
• · Throwing the leg over the opponent's back and scissoring downward with the legs generates the primary finishing pressure, not just arm squeezing.
• · Keeping your hips tight to the opponent's shoulders prevents them from creating space or rolling out of the submission.
• · Sprawling your hips toward the mat while pulling up on the head amplifies the choke by creating opposing forces.
• · If the opponent tries to posture up or roll, follow their movement while maintaining the head-and-arm configuration to preserve the lock.

Execution

1. 1 From front headlock, secure a deep arm-in guillotine grip (one arm trapped beside the head) with a gable grip or chin-strap hold around the neck.
2. 2 Swing your leg (same side as your choking arm) over the opponent's back, placing it across their far shoulder blade.
3. 3 Sprawl your hips down and away while throwing your other leg forward past the opponent's trapped arm side, creating a scissoring angle.
4. 4 Pull upward on the head and neck while driving your hips to the mat and squeezing your legs together to finish the choke.
5. 5 If the tap is not immediate, walk your hips slightly toward the trapped-arm side to increase the cutting angle on the neck.
