Introduction and Setup Position

Instructor Alex Humen demonstrates the Peruvian Necktie from closed guard, beginning with the opponent in turtle position. The instructor emphasizes maintaining rib cage-to-rib cage contact to eliminate space and prevent the opponent from escaping or rolling.

Controlling Hand Placement

The instructor establishes control by cutting the opponent's far hip with one hand while keeping the other hand on the back of the opponent's head. Pushing the opponent's head downward forces their upper body to follow, reducing mobility and creating vulnerability for the choke.

Threading the Arm and Creating the V-Shape

The free hand shoots under the opponent's armpit with fingers pointing upward, creating a V-shaped arm position. This positioning enables a smooth transition to the gable grip while maintaining control.

Establishing the Gable Grip and Forearm Placement

The instructor connects both hands into a gable grip, ensuring the blade of the forearm presses against the opponent's neck rather than the head. Proper placement near the hairline prevents the grip from slipping during the opponent's defensive posture attempts.

Transitioning to the Finish Position

The instructor drops to both knees, then hops onto the feet while swinging the outside leg over the opponent's elbow. The finish is executed by sitting back on the thigh and buttocks—not the spine—while pulling with the arms and extending the legs to apply the choke.

Japanese Necktie Counter When Opponent Goes Belly Down

If the opponent escapes to belly-down position, the instructor transitions to the Japanese Necktie by stepping between their legs and executing a shoulder roll. The head is positioned against the instructor's torso, creating compression that tightens the choke.

Alternative Grip for Wide-Shouldered Opponents

For opponents with wider shoulders where the gable grip becomes difficult to maintain, the instructor switches to an S-grip by sliding the hands together. This grip provides equal control while allowing the same leg-hook and shoulder-roll mechanics to execute the choke.
