The Japanese necktie is a front headlock choke that combines blood choke compression with neck crank mechanics, executed by threading one arm under the opponent's arm and around their head (similar to a D'Arce grip), stepping over the opponent's leg, and falling to the shoulder while closing the elbows in a scissor-like fashion. [1] Despite its name, the technique is not traditionally Japanese — it was named by 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu representatives after seeing Shinya Aoki perform it in training around 2007. Aoki himself called it the 'World Choke.' [2] The technique was developed simultaneously by multiple practitioners: Jeff Glover called it the 'Lazy D'Arce' and Robert Drysdale called it the 'Box Choke.'

История и происхождение
Developed simultaneously by multiple practitioners in the early 2000s. Shinya Aoki (Japanese MMA fighter) called it the 'World Choke.' The name 'Japanese Necktie' was coined by 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu around 2007 after seeing Aoki perform it. [1] Jeff Glover called it 'Lazy D'Arce' and Robert Drysdale called it 'Box Choke.' Despite the name, it is not a traditional Japanese martial arts technique — the 'Japanese' refers to Aoki's nationality. [2]

Эффективность
Highly effective front headlock submission that catches many opponents who are accustomed to defending the D'Arce and anaconda. The dual blood-choke and neck-crank mechanism means it can finish even when the pure choke angle is imperfect. [1]
Родословная
Developed simultaneously by Shinya Aoki (Japan), Jeff Glover (USA), and Robert Drysdale (Brazil/USA) in the early 2000s. Named by 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu ~2007. Part of the broader front headlock submission family alongside D'Arce, anaconda, and Peruvian necktie.
Соревновательные результаты
First UFC Japanese necktie finish: Matheus Nicolau vs. Bruno Rodrigues, UFC Fight Night 77, November 7, 2015, Round 3 at 3:27. Shinya Aoki used variations across DREAM, ONE Championship, and other promotions. Keith Krikorian (10th Planet) is a noted modern specialist.

Биомеханический механизм
Primary Action — Bilateral carotid compression combined with cervical spine torque — functions as both blood choke and neck crank depending on execution angle
Grip Configuration — Modified Vice grip — thumb of bottom arm threads between index and middle fingers of top arm, allowing elbows to pass each other in a scissor-like fashion
Force Vector — Stepping over opponent's leg and falling to the far shoulder creates rotational torque; hip drive tightens the choke; shin against back of opponent's head adds additional compression
Finishing Mechanic — The scissor-action of the closing elbows creates extreme compression around the neck and trapped arm
Позиция и вход
From front headlock / sprawl — When opponent shoots and you sprawl, establish the arm thread under their arm and around the head
From failed D'Arce choke — When the D'Arce grip is established but finishing is difficult, step over the leg and convert to Japanese necktie
From top half guard — When controlling the opponent's head from top position, thread the arm and step over
Варианты
Standard Japanese necktie — classic arm thread with leg step-over and shoulder drop
Peruvian necktie — related technique using S-grip under chin with leg over opponent's back (hamstring on head), sit-back finish; more crank-heavy
D'Arce choke — same arm threading but different finishing mechanics without the leg step-over
Anaconda choke — related front headlock cousin, rolls to opposite side

Что говорят инструкторы
The Japanese Necktie is a front headlock submission that emphasizes positional control and efficient weight distribution over muscular effort. Both We Defy Foundation (Felipe Costa) and Brandon McCaghren agree on the fundamental mechanics: the attacker establishes a headquarters position with legs interlocked (one leg between opponent's legs, one leg trapping the outside leg) while securing the opponent's head with a tight grip, typically an S-grip or vice grip formed by locking the hands around the head. Costa stresses the importance of head positioning—the attacker's head must face away from the opponent's body to maintain balance and prevent the defender from creating leverage to escape. Both instructors emphasize trapping the opponent's foot to prevent hip movement and escape. The submission culminates in a hip drive: McCaghren describes it as a scooping motion where the hip drives in and rotates upward, while Costa characterizes it as the hips walking forward across the opponent's head, creating a choke through body weight rather than arm strength. McCaghren adds that if the grip is missed or the opponent escapes to their knees, the position can transition into alternative submissions like the Darce choke or vice grip variations. Both instructors agree that maintaining chest contact with the opponent's triceps and keeping weight on the head—rather than dispersed across the body—is critical for submission completion.

✓The Japanese necktie was developed simultaneously by multiple practitioners in the early 2000s. Shinya Aoki (BJJ black belt, Judo black belt, A-class Shoot Wrestler) called it the 'World Choke' on his early DVD instructionals. The name 'Japanese Necktie' was coined by 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu representatives (reportedly Sean Bollinger) after seeing Aoki perform it in training around 2007. Jeff Glover called the same technique the 'Lazy D'Arce' and Robert Drysdale called it the 'Box Choke.' The grip is critical — the modified Vice grip allows the elbows to pass each other in a scissor motion, creating compression that is tighter than a standard D'Arce. Stepping over the opponent's leg and falling to the far shoulder is what distinguishes this from the D'Arce choke. The shin pressed against the back of the opponent's head adds significant finishing pressure. Matheus Nicolau submitted Bruno Rodrigues via Japanese necktie at UFC Fight Night 77 (November 7, 2015) — reported as the first Japanese necktie finish in UFC history. Keith Krikorian (10th Planet, ADCC veteran) has a dedicated instructional on the technique.
Типичные ошибки
!Not threading the arm deep enough — insufficient depth prevents the scissor action from generating compression
!Not stepping over the leg — this is what distinguishes the Japanese necktie from the D'Arce; without it, finishing is much harder
!Falling to the wrong side — must fall to the far shoulder, not the near side
!Not closing elbows in scissor fashion — the elbows must pass each other to maximize compression
!Not driving hips in — hip pressure tightens the choke significantly

Часто задаваемые вопросы
What's the key difference between just driving your hip and actually finishing the Japanese Necktie?
According to Brandon McCaghren, it's not just about hip pressure and squeezing—the critical difference is turning your body so your head passes his back and your grip turns toward the ceiling. Just driving the hip alone probably only works half the time, but combining hip pressure with proper body positioning and the turn creates the actual submission.
How do I secure the grip on the head when setting up the Japanese Necktie?
Felipe Costa teaches that you need to catch the head and lock your hands together in an S-grip, with your bottom hand's palm pointing up and fingers closed. Make sure your chest goes on top of his triceps once you have the head, and keep slight space by using your arm to clear his stiff arm first.
Why is it important to keep my opponent's foot trapped in this position?
Felipe Costa emphasizes that trapping the foot prevents your opponent from moving their leg and escaping, and any effort they use to push against you only tires them out while you maintain control.
What should I do with my leg when I fall into the finish?
Felipe Costa stresses that as you fall on your shoulder to finish, keep your leg between his legs and lock it. This prevents him from moving his body away and getting up, which is essential to securing the tap.
