The rear-naked choke is a highly efficient grappling submission strategy used in mixed martial arts, wrestling, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This strategy is situating oneself behind the opponent and exerting pressure on the sides of the neck with one's arm, so limiting blood flow to the brain. To do a rear-naked choke, a practitioner usually binds their opponent's head and arm, generally by putting one arm around the opponent's neck and gripping their bicep for stability. This provides an immobilized posture from which the opponent finds it hard to escape.
