Обзор
The headscissors from north-south is applied when the attacker is in the north-south position and traps the opponent's head between their thighs by closing the legs around the neck from above. [1],[2] The north-south alignment places the attacker's hips directly over the opponent's face, providing optimal leverage for the thigh squeeze. [1] The attacker may turn to the side or adjust the hip angle to place the femoral area more precisely against the carotid arteries for bilateral vascular compression. [1],[2]
История и происхождение
The north-south headscissors developed from the broader category of reverse headscissors techniques used in catch wrestling and submission grappling. [1],[2] The north-south position became a recognized control point in BJJ's positional hierarchy, and practitioners explored leg-based submissions from this pin. [1] While less common than the north-south kimura or choke, the headscissors provides an alternative attack when arm-based submissions are defended. [1],[2]

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

Что говорят инструкторы
The headscissors from north-south position emerges as a leg-based choke executed from dominant top control, particularly effective when the opponent's arm is trapped or controlled. Revolution BJJ emphasizes the transition from a failed Kimura attempt, where the attacker rocks forward to establish both knees around the opponent's neck—one knee under, one over—then extends the legs straight to align with the shoulders, pinching the knees together to compress the carotid arteries or windpipe. Proper knee placement beneath the chin is critical; many practitioners mistakenly position knees on the chin or face rather than the neck, reducing choke efficacy. Carlos Machado prioritizes setup control using an X-frame with the hips rather than hand-wrist grip, reducing self-injury risk when the opponent resists rotation. Machado stresses 'hooking and fishing' the chin by using the knee to clear the opponent's defensive hand before establishing leg position, then reinforcing the choke with the second leg over the first to prevent escape. Both instructors agree that leg alignment perpendicular to the shoulders maximizes pressure; Revolution BJJ notes this prevents the common mistake of curling heels back like an armlock. Machado additionally demonstrates how rolling slightly backward after establishing the choke intensifies the frame pressure to submission-level intensity.

✓The headscissors from north-south applies the headscissors strangle from the north-south (head-to-head) top control position — sliding the hips forward to capture the head between the thighs while maintaining top pressure (Danaher, Pin Escapes and Turtle Turns: BJJ Fundamentals, 2019)
✓The north-south entry: from standard north-south control, walk the hips forward until the head passes between the thighs, then lock the figure-four
✓The north-south provides a strong headscissors platform: the attacker's body weight reinforces the squeeze — the opponent is pinned and strangled simultaneously
✓The headscissors from north-south works against flat opponents: when the bottom player lies flat defending the north-south choke, their static head position makes it easy to capture between the thighs
✓The transition from north-south control to headscissors is smooth: the hips advance incrementally, maintaining top pressure throughout
✓The headscissors from north-south is complementary to the north-south choke: the choke uses the arm while the headscissors uses the legs — threatening both overwhelms the defence
✓Finishing: lock figure-four, extend hips, squeeze thighs — the top position's weight advantage makes the headscissors from north-south particularly powerful
Типичные ошибки
!Attempting without establishing north-south control first — the control position must be secure before advancing the hips for the headscissors
!Advancing the hips too quickly and losing control — slide forward incrementally; rapid hip advance can cause the opponent to escape underneath
!Not maintaining body weight on the opponent — the weight keeps them pinned while the legs work; lifting up to position the legs gives them freedom
!Not locking the figure-four properly — the lock is essential for structural compression; without it, the opponent pushes the legs apart
!Squeezing before the head is properly between the thighs — ensure the thighs contact both sides of the neck before squeezing; premature squeezing on the jaw or shoulders is ineffective
!Not having the north-south choke as a backup — if the headscissors doesn't work, the arm should already be near the neck for the choke transition
!Holding the headscissors without finishing — if it's not working, adjust thigh position or transition; holding a mispositioned headscissors wastes time

Часто задаваемые вопросы
How should I position my legs to actually get a choke instead of just a face crank?
Revolution BJJ instructor Russ emphasizes that the key is getting your knees underneath the opponent's chin and around the neck—extend your legs straight so your knees pop right out underneath the chin, then pinch your knees together for the choke. A common mistake is curling your heels back like an armlock or positioning on the chin instead of under it.
What's the best way to lock in the headscissors to prevent escape?
Carlos Machado recommends placing one leg over the chin and locking your other leg over it, similar to triangle pressure—this makes it much harder for the opponent to push your foot away compared to having just one leg control.
How do I secure the choke when my opponent grabs their belt to defend?
Revolution BJJ's Russ advises getting your weight forward, rocking into the opponent with a pump action, then hitting your hips forward and placing one knee under the neck and one knee over it before extending your legs straight to lock in the choke.
