Обзор
The face crank from rear mount is applied from standard back control by placing a hand or forearm across the opponent's face — typically under the nose or on the chin — and pulling the head backward while the hooks or body triangle anchor the body in place. [1],[2] The opposing forces of the anchored torso and the cranked head create cervical hyperextension. [1] This technique is commonly used as a setup to force the opponent to expose their neck for a rear naked choke, though it can produce a submission through spinal pain alone. [1],[2]
История и происхождение
Face cranks from rear mount have been used throughout grappling history as both a submission and a technique to open the neck for chokes. [1],[2] In early MMA, face cranks from the back were commonly employed before rulesets were refined, and they remain legal in most professional grappling competitions. [1] The technique is sometimes called a 'can opener from the back' due to its similarity to the cervical flexion mechanic applied from behind rather than in front. [1],[2]

Биомеханический механизм
Primary Action — Compression of the neck structures — restricts blood flow or airway depending on technique application
Joints Involved — Cervical spine, surrounding musculature, and vascular structures of the neck
Force Vector — Directed compression against the neck from the choking limb or body position
Finishing Mechanic — Sustained pressure causes either vascular occlusion (unconsciousness) or tracheal restriction (breathing difficulty)
Позиция и вход
From back control with seatbelt — Establish hooks or body triangle, slide choking arm under the chin, connect hands and squeeze
From turtle top (back take) — Break down the turtle, insert hooks, secure seatbelt grip, slide to back control and apply the choke
From standing back clinch — Secure rear body lock, drag opponent to the mat while inserting hooks, transition to choking position

✓The face crank from rear mount drives the forearm across the opponent's face from back control — using the superior positioning of the rear mount to create cervical rotation and flexion cranks (Paulson, Shoot Wrestling, 2007)
✓From rear mount: the attacker has back control with hooks — the forearm is placed across the face (rather than under the chin) and pressure is applied to rotate the head
✓The face crank from rear mount is typically a transitional technique: it opens the chin tuck defence for the RNC — the opponent must choose between enduring the face crank or exposing the neck
✓The forearm across the face creates a dilemma: the pain of the crank forces the opponent to move their head, and any head movement creates an opening for the choking arm to slide under the chin
✓From back mount: the attacker's body weight and hooks provide the stability needed to apply facial pressure without losing position — the platform is secure
✓The face crank from rear mount uses the forearm's bony edge (radius): rotating the forearm so the bone contacts the jaw or cheekbone maximises the cranking effect
✓The technique is a 'chin-tuck breaker': the most common RNC defence (chin tuck) is defeated by making the chin-tuck position more painful than the choke it's defending against
Типичные ошибки
!Relying on the face crank as the primary submission — it's a transition tool for opening the RNC; few opponents tap to the face crank alone at high levels
!Pressing into the eyes — target the jaw, forehead, or cheekbone; eye contact is dangerous and illegal
!Losing back hooks while applying facial pressure — maintain hooks throughout; the face crank is secondary to back control
!Applying the face crank without immediately following with the RNC — as soon as the chin lifts, the choking arm must slide under; delay wastes the opening
!Using excessive force — the face is sensitive; progressive pressure is sufficient to create the reaction; explosive cranking risks injury
!Not recognising the opponent's tap — face cranks cause pain before structural damage; respect the tap immediately
!Spending too long on the face crank — if it doesn't open the chin after a few seconds, transition to other back attacks rather than grinding indefinitely

Часто задаваемые вопросы
How much power should I use when applying a neck crank from rear mount?
According to EffortlessJiuJitsu, you should be very careful with full power application since cranking someone's neck with maximum force can cause serious injury requiring surgery. The technique uses perfect body mechanics—similar to a deadlift motion—which generates tremendous force against a fragile target, so controlled practice is essential.
What body mechanics make the neck crank effective?
EffortlessJiuJitsu emphasizes that the crank doesn't rely on arm strength or squeezing, but rather on body mechanics using one of the strongest motions the human body can produce—the deadlift-like opening motion—applied against the spine, the most fragile target of the body.
What should I do if my opponent's arms trap during the crank?
EffortlessJiuJitsu explains that once both arms are trapped, the opponent has no escape route, so you can proceed with the crank or transition to strikes, then return to crank again to finish.
