When to Transition from Top Position

When the top position becomes stalled—due to opponent strength, defensive hand-fighting, or superior positioning—it is time to transition to an alternative submission. The Peruvian Necktie serves as an effective alternative when standard techniques are being defended.

Introduction to the Peruvian Necktie

The Peruvian Necktie is a classical submission technique that produces exceptional pressure compared to similar neck attacks. The technique combines elements of the guillotine choke with positional control to create a highly effective finishing hold.

Establishing the Guillotine Grip Base

From the stalled top position, the attacker threads both hands under the opponent's body to establish a guillotine grip. While maintaining this grip, the attacker must keep the opponent's body pressed tightly against their own chest to prevent escape.

Leg Placement Over the Head

The outside leg extends over the opponent's head with the hamstring positioned along the back of the neck. This leg placement, combined with the maintained guillotine grip, creates a head-and-arm choke variation that is significantly more powerful than a standard guillotine.

Preventing the Roll Escape

Once the leg is positioned over the head, the back leg must prevent the opponent from rolling underneath it. The attacker should drive the back leg over the opponent's hip to stop lateral movement and secure the position.

Achieving the Deadlift Position

The attacker maintains an upright posture similar to a deadlift position, with the chest up and back slightly curved. Hands return to chest level in the guillotine grip, with maximum pressure applied through maintained tension rather than forcing the hold.

The Hamstring Pressure Point

The primary pressure source comes from the hamstring pressing against the back of the opponent's head and neck. Unlike a standard guillotine, the Peruvian Necktie requires the attacker to crunch forward, driving the opponent's chin toward their chest while squeezing upward with the legs.

Finishing the Submission

The attacker simultaneously crushes inward with the arms while driving the opponent's chin downward and maintaining hamstring pressure. This combined pressure from multiple angles creates a powerful constriction of the neck that forces the opponent to submit.
