Перевод: Rear Neck Crank (katakana loanword)
The rear neck crank from body triangle uses the stable body triangle back control to anchor the opponent's torso while the attacker grips under the chin, across the forehead, or on the face and pulls the head backward into cervical hyperextension. [1],[2] The body triangle's exceptional hip control means the opponent cannot rotate or slide down to relieve the cranking pressure, making this one of the most controlling positions from which to apply a neck crank. [1] The attacker uses the body triangle squeeze and upper body pull simultaneously. [1],[2]
The body triangle became a dominant back control method in high-level BJJ and MMA in the 2010s, particularly after fighters like Luke Rockhold and Islam Makhachev demonstrated its effectiveness. [1],[2] The neck crank from body triangle emerged as a secondary attack when rear naked choke attempts were defended — rather than abandoning the back position, attackers could threaten the spine to force a reaction or tap. [1] This technique represents the modern integration of cranking attacks into the back-attack system. [1],[2]
A powerful secondary attack from body triangle back control that pressures the cervical spine through extension; effective when the opponent defends rear naked choke by protecting the neck [1]
Developed in MMA and no-gi grappling as athletes recognized body triangle's potential for neck cranks beyond traditional chokes. Associated with Khabib Nurmagomedov's back control system [1]
Multiple UFC finishes from body triangle neck crank position; increasingly common in MMA as body triangle back control becomes standard [1]

The rear neck crank from body triangle is a cervical extension submission executed from back control with a body triangle (leg lock across the opponent's torso). Freestyle Fighting Academy emphasizes that the technique requires the opponent to be flattened on their back before execution; the attacker must maintain control of one arm while circling the free leg underneath to grip their own thigh, keeping the opponent's arm extended as long as possible to prevent escape via elbow tuck. Once the leg is clasped around the thigh, the attacker leans back and brings the knees together to apply crushing pressure, functioning as both a positional lock and a choke mechanism. Invisible Jiu-Jitsu highlights that the body triangle submission works by restricting the opponent's diaphragm (positioning the triangle above the lungs rather than across the hips) to induce positional asphyxiation, and emphasizes keeping the triangle on the top side to prevent foot lock counters. Both sources note that the submission can succeed through either immediate tap from the neck crank or through sustained positional pressure that restricts breathing. Hand placement high on the inside of the thigh near the knees maximizes leverage (treating the leg as a lever with the handle, not hinge), and consistent squeezing pressure with the knees generates the primary finishing force. The technique is reliable against trained grapplers including wrestlers, though flexibility variations require positional adjustments.

You want to sit the triangle above the diaphragm, just below the lungs, so you constrict the opponent's ability to move their diaphragm and they choke themselves through positional asphyxiation. Invisible Jiu Jitsu emphasizes positioning high on the body, not low across the hips, which only provides control without the choke.
The pressure works just like a regular triangle—flare your heel and squeeze your knees together in a downward and inward motion. Invisible Jiu Jitsu notes that most of the real squeeze comes from the knees rather than pulling back with your hands.
Fall to the side of your choking hand so it doesn't get trapped underneath your opponent, and position yourself to get high on their thigh so you can apply pressure back and in toward the diaphragm. Invisible Jiu Jitsu stresses not letting the triangle drop to the floor, as your opponent can then escape by stepping over your foot.
