Rear Naked Choke from Back Control

Establish back control

• Secure back control using hooks or a body triangle
• Keep your chest tight to their back and head close to theirs
• Insert both hooks inside their thighs and control their hips

Prepare for the choke

• Bring your choking arm over their shoulder
• Use your non-choking arm under their arm to control hand fighting
• Trap or pin their arm to limit defensive grips

Attack with your primary arm

• Slide your hand below your partner's nech
• In case the partner has their neck down
• Use the thumb bone while pulling the fingers inward to create space
• Bring your hand behind their neck

Bring them closer to you

• Fall slightly to the choking-arm side
• Keep your hooks or body triangle tight to pull them into you

Connect your hands

• Place your choking hand on the bicep of your non-choking arm
• Bring your non-choking hand behind their head
• Keep your elbows tight and arms compact
• Your choking arm should go to the other arm's bicep
• The non-choking arm's palm should touch your choking arm's deltoid

Finish the submission

• Bring your head close to your partner's head
• Put your chin over your secondary hand's wrist
• Rotate your elbow over your shoulder
