The **Peruvian Necktie** is a dynamic and effective Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu submission technique typically executed from the **front headlock** position. It combines elements of the guillotine choke with leverage and body mechanics to create a powerful stranglehold. Here's a detailed breakdown of the technique: ### Step-by-step Instructions **Position: Turtle** 1. **Establish Entry** - Begin from the [Turtle Position](https://www.bjjheroes.com/bjj-fighters/kenny-florian). Your opponent is facing down on all fours, and you are controlling their head with a front headlock. - Ensure that your control includes a secure grip under their chin with your forearm, akin to a guillotine setup. 2. **Set the Arm** - Reach your free hand beneath their armpit (opposite side of your choking hand) and around to the back of their neck. - Grab your wrist to secure a firm grip. 3. **Positioning for Leverage** - Maintain control of their head and neck as you position yourself to one side of your opponent. - Move your chest onto their back while keeping your grip intact, leaning your upper body weight on their back. 4. **Execute the Drop** - Delicately hop or step one leg onto the opponent’s back, the other leg swings over while keeping both knees bent. - You should now be lying face-down alongside the opponent, with your legs forming a triangle above their back as you lock them tighter with your insteps onto their upper back. 5. **Lock & Finish** - Pull your choking arm towards you while simultaneously pushing their head down and away with your locked legs. - Apply pressure as your legs press their back towards the floor and your arms close the choke. 6. **Adjustments** - If the choke isn't tight enough, adjust the position of your wrist and legs to create more pressure. - Hold your grip tight and position your legs properly so that your opponent cannot roll out or escape the submission shallowly. ### Key Points - **Leverage is Key:** The Peruvian Necktie relies heavily on using your body weight to apply pressure along with the grip. - **Maintain Control:** Keeping the opponent’s head well-gripped throughout is crucial to transitioning smoothly into the Peruvian Necktie efficiently. ### Cautions - Care with Pressure: As with any choke technique, it's essential to exercise care and control, ensuring safety for training partners. By practicing the steps and fine-tuning aspects of control and pressure, the Peruvian Necktie can become a formidable submission in your BJJ repertoire.
