The Neck Crush Finish is a one-arm rear naked choke variation where the attacker uses a single arm wrapped behind the opponent's head to create a crushing compression on the neck — squeezing the neck ...
The one-hand collar choke from back control uses a single deep collar grip with wrist rotation to press the knuckles or forearm blade into the carotid artery while the collar fabric compresses the opp...
The Choke group encompasses submission techniques that restrict the opponent's breathing by compressing the trachea (windpipe) or obstructing the airway. [1] Unlike blood chokes (strangles) which targ...
The calf slicer (also called calf crush or calf compression) works by placing a hard fulcrum — typically the shin or forearm — behind the opponent's knee and folding the lower leg back, crushing the c...
The crucifix rear strangle is applied from the crucifix position, where the attacker traps one of the opponent's arms with their legs (typically threading the far arm between the legs and locking it) ...
Pressure techniques are pain compliance methods that use focused body weight, bony prominences (knees, elbows, forearms, chin), or grinding pressure to create intense localized pain on sensitive areas...
The Arm Compression Defence subfamily covers defences against bicep slicers and arm crushes, where the opponent places their shin, forearm, or wrist across the defender's bicep and folds the arm to co...
Chokes and strangles are submission techniques that restrict either blood flow (strangles) or airflow (chokes) to force a tap out or render an opponent unconscious. [6] The distinction between a choke...
Nerve locks are submission techniques that apply focused pressure directly to nerve bundles or pressure points, causing acute pain without necessarily threatening joint, vascular, or respiratory integ...
Compression locks are submission techniques that crush muscle tissue against bone, causing intense pain through deep tissue compression rather than joint hyperextension or vascular restriction. [7] Th...
The fulcrum headlock choke from front headlock uses the attacker's own body structure — typically the hip bone or forearm — as a rigid fulcrum point against which the opponent's neck is bent and compr...
The power guillotine from top half guard is a high-pressure variant where the attacker applies a guillotine choke while maintaining top position in half guard, using full body weight and hip pressure ...
The elbow-fulcrum headlock choke uses the point of the attacker's elbow as the primary fulcrum against the opponent's neck from a front headlock position. [1] The attacker wraps the opponent's head, t...
The two-on-one choke from front headlock with short-lever clamp uses both hands to grip the opponent's wrist and clamp the arm tightly against the throat at short range. [1] Unlike the long-lever pull...
The wrist choke from front headlock is a species of the wrist-control-assisted front choke family where the attacker uses the bony edge of their own wrist as the primary choking surface against the op...
The reverse guillotine from front headlock is applied by wrapping the arm around the opponent's neck from the front but with the choking forearm positioned on the opposite side compared to the standar...
The Over The Chin Finish is a rear naked choke variation where the choking arm is applied over the opponent's chin rather than under it — using the forearm to push the chin upward and backward while t...
The one-arm rear naked choke is a variation where the attacker finishes the strangle using only the choking arm without the standard figure-four reinforcement from the second arm. [1,2] The choking ar...
Sleeve-assisted forearm strangles use the attacker's own gi sleeve as a fulcrum against the throat while the opposite arm provides compression from behind the head. [1,2] The Ezekiel choke (sode-gurum...
