Newer Female Grapplers, After Learning The Basics, Rear Naked Choke Is Next

March 4, 2022,

It can be your face inside of it.

It can be your opponent’s face inside of it.

Either way, the expression on both of your faces when trapped inside of a rear naked choke is that you really hate to be there and you have no idea how to get out of it.

If you are a newer female grappler? Try to be the one who beats your opponent to the Rear Naked Choke first.

Then they will be the ones with the funny look on their face.

Otherwise it will be you.

The rear naked choke is a chokehold in martial arts applied from an opponent's back.

The word "naked" in this context suggests that, unlike other strangulation techniques found in jujutsu or judo, this hold does not require the use of a training uniform.

The choke has two variations.

The first version is when, the attacker's arm encircles the opponent's neck and then grabs their own biceps on the other arm.

In the second version, the attacker clasps their hands together instead after encircling the opponent's neck.

Recent studies have shown that the rear-naked choke takes an average of 8.9 seconds to render an opponent unconscious regardless of the grip that is used.

That is powerful stuff.

This variant is considered to be a "blood choke" because it restricts blood flow to the brain via the carotid arteries.

When applied correctly, it can cause temporary unconsciousness in a few seconds.

The following is a description of this technique using the right arm:

1. The attacker's right arm encircles the opponent's neck, with the opponent's trachea at the crook of the elbow.
2. The attacker's right hand then grasps their own upper left arm [biceps].
3. The left hand is placed behind (or occasionally on top of) the opponent's head. A more effective form of the choke can be applied by placing the palm of the left hand against the attacker's own shoulder rather than behind the opponent's head. This greatly reduces the escape possibilities.
4. The elbows are then brought together such that lateral pressure, from the biceps and radius bone, is applied to the neck on both sides.

When applied properly, unconsciousness occurs in less than 10 seconds and recovery from the choke is just as quick.

Makes sense?

Let’s keep going.

The placement of the legs usually falls into two categories.

The first is a body lock.

The attacker (hopefully you) places one of their legs across the stomach or lower chest of the victim.

They then place their other leg over their own shin, creating a figure-four with their legs.

This allows them to limit movement and stay close to the back of their victim.

So those are the basics.

For a more in depth look at how to apply the rear naked choke, let’s turn to an expert.

Choke Out: Mastering the Rear Naked Choke

By Sammy Franco (Actor, Director)

“In Choke Out: Mastering the Rear Naked Choke, self-defense expert Sammy Franco meticulously addresses the many significant aspects of the rear choke and teaches you direct application to real world self-defense situations. Finally, a video that teaches you how to safely and effectively use a rear naked choke (RNC) hold in a volatile street fight!

Choke Out gives you a very analytical analysis of the rear naked choke and provides a wide range of exercises, drills and demonstrations that will benefit both self-defense technicians, mixed martial artists, and martial arts students of all backgrounds and styles. Witness real life choke out demonstrations in this one of a kind instructional video.

The rear choke actually has many different names - choke hold, blood choke, sleeper hold, lions kill, Hadaka Jime or the rear naked choke. Regardless of what you call it, no one can argue the fact that the submission choke is one of the most effective technique in any fighter's arsenal.

Most trained fighters fear it, yet everyone wants to master it. The unfortunate fact is information on the rear choke technique is in very short supply. Watch any grappling or submission video and you'll notice only brief explanations on this devastating choke, this is because most instructors have a limited understanding of this fantastic finishing hold. Well, all of that is about to change!”

Well stated.

We can appreciate that.

Ultimately for you, as a newer female grappler, you should contact a local Dojo to learn it firsthand. Personal training and application is always the best teacher.

Having said that, learning from a variety of experienced teachers is virtually always better than learning from just one.

Jiu Jitsu Choke - Head and Arm Choke

By John P Brink

Head and Arm Choke Will Make You to Surrender

You have many techniques of subduing and leading your opponent to surrender. Most of these techniques apply to both MMA combats as well as grappling matches. Some work most efficiently than others. There are grappling techniques that go for most arts, for some of the arts but that are not allowed in some aspects of martial arts. It is important also to note that the most of the techniques, if not all, are allowed in MMA. This makes it a more prestigious and impressive form of martial art combat than the BBJ and other forms where there are many restrictions. Knowing what the rules are and the various ways of attacking and defending yourself and makes it a great chance of winning in the combats.

There are many techniques in grappling combats as well as MMAs. Some of the notable ones are the rear naked choke, the ankle choke etc. The head and arm choke, also known commonly as the arm triangle is one effective method of leading your opponent to surrender. This technique involves the sealing of blood on both sides of the neck and hindering it from moving to the brain. In this situation your opponent would be compelled or forced to submit instantly or s/he would certainly pass out. Although this is a method that can ensure easy and fast submission from a competitor, it is important for you to note certain facts before engaging in it.

You should be in a privileged position to be able to undertake this. This means, being able to bring the opponent's upper bicep against his neck and your head against his upper triceps. Make sure that the weight is on the bicep resting on his neck when you do the half guard. Your free hand should be rested on your head, not on your opponent's. When you have successfully passed on the half-guard, you may then step aside to the side of the body where your head is inclined.

This technique is not as difficult as it may seem, but when practising it, it should be noted that your opponent is not also a passive competitor. Chances are that s/he will be ready for defenses or attacks. If you have the full guard of your opponent, you may proceed by putting your right arm to his or her side. You may then proceed with the steps as highlighted above. You need to apply pressure to choke your opponent.

Like every choking technique, this technique also has its negative effects which may include hurting the opponent's neck or maiming him or her. It is also important to be precise, to attack at the right time and when you have an advantage over your opponent. If you are in practice sessions or on training, it is important to be very sensitive with your partner as this could result to problems such as whiplash or other neck related injuries. Sometimes it could also be advisable to let go if your partner in training is resistant and about to make a stupid or unreasonable move.
