Перевод: Jaw Prying / Wrenching
The jaw pry face crank from rear mount uses the fingers or hands to pry the opponent's jaw open and to the side, creating cervical rotation stress and intense mandibular pain. [1] From rear mount, the attacker hooks the fingers under the chin or around the jawline and pulls upward and to one side, forcing the cervical spine into combined extension and lateral rotation. [1],[2] The jaw serves as a lever arm — applying force at the jaw creates a long moment arm that transmits torque to the cervical vertebrae. [2] This technique is legal in most grappling rulesets but is considered a crank rather than a choke, and many practitioners tap due to pain rather than loss of consciousness risk. [2],[3]
Jaw manipulation techniques appear in traditional Japanese jujutsu and European catch wrestling as methods of forcing an opponent's neck into vulnerable positions. [1] The rear mount application became a recognised competition technique in MMA and no-gi grappling where neck cranks are permitted. [2],[3]

The jaw pry face crank is extremely dangerous—applying full power can cause serious injury requiring surgery. According to EffortlessJiuJitsu, you should always practice with control and care, remembering that you only have one spine and want to train jiu jitsu for a long time.
EffortlessJiuJitsu explains that the technique uses body mechanics and hip drive—similar to a deadlift motion—which generates one of the strongest forces the human body can produce, applied directly against the fragile spine.
Once the position is properly set with both arms trapped and the opponent lifted and positioned correctly, they have very limited escape options, according to EffortlessJiuJitsu.
EffortlessJiuJitsu recommends learning defensive knowledge of this technique so you won't be caught off guard if someone else uses it against you.
