Обзор
The reverse headscissors from guard applies the head squeeze with the attacker's legs oriented in the opposite direction compared to the standard version, typically with the attacker's hips angled or inverted. [1] The reverse orientation changes the compression angle — instead of squeezing the sides of the neck from a front-facing position, the reverse headscissors attacks from an angled or rear-facing direction, which can target different portions of the carotid arteries. [1],[2] This variant often occurs during scrambles when the attacker's guard is partially passed but they manage to recapture the head between the legs from an unconventional angle. [2] The reverse orientation can be disorienting for the trapped opponent, as standard headscissors defence strategies may not apply. [2],[3]
История и происхождение
Reverse headscissors positions have been documented in catch wrestling and professional wrestling, where unusual angles of head control were explored for both sport and showmanship. [1] In competition BJJ, the reverse variant emerged as a transition-based attack during guard recovery and scramble situations. [2],[3]

Эффективность
Lower percentage than standard headscissors due to the reversed leg positioning, which reduces squeezing power; can still finish against smaller opponents or those unaware of the threat [1]
Родословная
A variation of the headscissors found across multiple grappling traditions including catch wrestling, sambo, and traditional jujutsu [1]
Соревновательные результаты
Extremely rare as a finish at major competition; occasionally seen in sambo and catch wrestling events [1]

Биомеханический механизм
Primary Action — Bilateral compression of the carotid arteries — restricts blood flow to the brain, causing unconsciousness within seconds
Joints Involved — Cervical spine (lateral flexion), glenohumeral joint of the trapped arm (if arm-in), nuchal region
Force Vector — Lateral squeeze creates inward pressure on both sides of the neck simultaneously
Choking Mechanism — Vascular strangle — occludes carotid arteries and jugular veins, distinct from airway (tracheal) chokes
Позиция и вход
From guard (bottom position) — Use legs to control the opponent's head and arm, lock the leg configuration and apply compression
From mount (top) — Transition from mount by isolating an arm and threading legs around the head and arm
From side control (spinning) — Spin to face the opponent's legs, throw legs over the head to lock the choke
Варианты
Standard grip variation — primary hand configuration for maximum choking pressure
Gi variation — uses the lapel or collar as an anchor for additional friction and control
No-gi variation — adapted grip and positioning for submission grappling without the gi
Transition finish — applied during a positional change to catch the opponent off-guard

✓The reverse headscissors traps the opponent's head between the thighs from a reversed body orientation — the attacker faces the opponent's legs rather than their head, creating compression from an inverted angle (Gracie & Gracie, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu: Theory and Technique, 2001)
✓The reverse orientation changes the compression vector: the thighs press the neck from a different angle compared to the standard headscissors, potentially finding the carotid when the standard angle is defended
✓From guard: the reverse headscissors often occurs during scrambles or when the attacker is inverted relative to the opponent — the 'wrong way' positioning becomes a submission opportunity
✓The choking mechanism is identical: both inner thighs compress the carotid arteries — only the body orientation differs, changing which part of the thigh contacts which side of the neck
✓The reverse headscissors catches opponents who defend the standard direction: their defensive hand placement for the standard scissors is ineffective against the reversed angle
✓The technique requires comfort with inverted positions: the attacker must be able to maintain the squeeze while their body faces an unusual direction
✓The reverse headscissors transitions from failed sweeps, guard recovery attempts, and inversions — it capitalises on positional chaos
Типичные ошибки
!Not understanding the body orientation — the reverse specifically means facing the opponent's legs; confusion about direction leads to an incorrectly positioned squeeze
!Attempting to squeeze from the wrong angle — the thigh-to-carotid alignment differs from the standard; adjust the hip position to find the arteries
!Losing the position during the inversion — inverted positions are inherently less stable; maintain tight thigh contact throughout
!Not extending the hips — hip extension drives the thighs together; flat hips reduce compression
!Confusing the reverse headscissors with a body scissors — the headscissors targets the neck, not the torso; ensure the head is between the thighs
!Not practising inverted positions — the reverse headscissors requires comfort upside down; dedicated inversion drilling is needed
!Releasing the position too quickly — the inverted angle may need adjustment; work the position before abandoning it
