Front Headlock Positioning

The instructor establishes proper front headlock position by placing the shoulder across the opponent's shoulder blades while rising onto the toes. The underneath hand is positioned with the back of the hand in the opponent's armpit, while the top hand uses a thumbless grip. This foundation allows for controlled pressure and mobility.

Forcing the Elbow Across the Body

The practitioner scoops low with the elbow while squeezing both elbows together, forcing the opponent's elbow off the mat and across their body. This creates significant discomfort and limits the opponent's escape options while maintaining multiple transition opportunities.

Transition to Peruvian Necktie Setup

From the front headlock, the instructor shoots one arm through and rotates both hands to a biceps control position. Maintaining elbow pressure is critical to prevent the opponent from escaping during this rotation. The shoulder is then dropped below the opponent's shoulder with a tight squeeze.

Peruvian Necktie Position and Mechanics

The practitioner steps deep past the opponent's arm into the armpit, rolls to their back, and slides the leg over. The 'kick starting the motorcycle' motion—a controlled leg rotation—prevents the opponent from rolling while the hands remain straight and tight against the neck.

Triangle Choke Alternative Finish

When the opponent's elbow is positioned between the practitioner's legs, a triangle configuration is formed. The finishing technique combines a 'kick start the motorcycle' motion with a deadlift, applying simultaneous pressure from both legs and arms.

Vice Grip Transition When Triangle Fails

If the initial triangle submission doesn't work, the practitioner transitions to vice grip by positioning the opponent's shoulder in the crotch rather than the arm. The top hand digs deep while the knees squeeze together, creating an intense shoulder stretch and neck pressure simultaneously.

Arm Bone Submission from Peruvian Position

When the Peruvian necktie doesn't secure, the practitioner goes underneath to attack the arm bone instead. This requires continuous leg pressure while working the top hand deep and ripping to maintain control and submission effectiveness.

Multiple Triangle Finish Options

From the leg triangle position, the instructor demonstrates various finishing angles by pushing the opponent's head away rather than pulling down. Up to seven different directional variations can be applied, each creating distinct pressure vectors and submission mechanics.

Head and Arm Choke When Opponent Rolls

If the opponent attempts to roll away, the practitioner transitions to a head and arm choke by securing one arm and the head on the same side. Proper positioning eliminates space by staying tight to the opponent's body while performing an oblique crunch motion with hip pressure.

Head and Arm Choke Finish Details

The practitioner falls to their back while maintaining a tight connection, avoiding any gap between their body and the opponent's. The finish involves pushing off the hip, performing a leg curl, and attempting to touch the ear with the back of the hand while applying an oblique crunch.
