Peruvian Necktie From Closed Guard

According to Chewjitsu, you want your IT band and outer leg to lay on the back of the opponent's neck. Make sure your knee goes behind them so they can't immediately roll out, and keep that leg elevated—don't let it touch the mat again during the finish.

Bernardo Faria emphasizes not wrapping your partner's body with your arms, as they might trap your arm and roll you over. Instead, connect your rib cage to theirs, use one hand to control their hip, and keep your other hand on the back of their head to control head position.

Bernardo Faria teaches that when you extend your arm to create the grip, your fingers should point up toward the sky, forming a V-shape with your arm. Once you have the gable grip, ensure the blade of your forearm continues to press against your opponent's neck, placing it where the hair starts rather than too high on the head.

According to Bernardo Faria, hooking the leg prevents your opponent from rolling or escaping over the hook, making the submission significantly more secure and difficult to defend.

The Peruvian necktie from closed guard is applied by the bottom player who secures a front headlock grip, then throws one leg over the opponent's back to create a lever that drives the head downward into the choking arm. From closed guard, the attacker wraps the neck and threads the leg over the opponent's shoulder line, using hip extension and leg pressure to generate the downward force that tightens the strangle.

The Peruvian necktie is attributed to Tony DeSouza, a Peruvian-American MMA fighter who used the technique in competition in the mid-2000s. The closed guard variant represents an adaptation of the original front headlock application, where practitioners found that the guard position offered an alternative platform for establishing the leg-over-back lever.
