Rear-Naked Choke

The rear-naked choke is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and mixed martial arts technique used to control and submit an opponent. It involves wrapping one arm around the opponent’s neck from behind and securing the grip with the other hand, creating pressure on the throat and neck. This choke restricts blood flow to the brain, leading to unconsciousness if applied effectively. It does not involve direct crushing but relies on blood restriction rather than choking airflow directly. Proper technique is essential for safety and effectiveness, making it a highly effective submission move when performed by trained individuals.
