Peruvian Necktie / Peruvian Necktie Variation

The Peruvian necktie is a front headlock choke that traps the opponent’s head and arm while applying downward pressure with the arms or lapel. It is a versatile submission that can be executed from standing scrambles, top control, or front headlock positions. Variations adjust the leg or torso positioning to increase leverage, making it adaptable to different opponent reactions and body types.

This submission combines control and finishing potential, allowing the attacker to transition into other techniques if the choke is defended, such as guillotines, arm triangles, or kimuras. Its effectiveness lies in isolating the head and controlling the opponent’s posture, which not only threatens the choke but also restricts their movement and options for counterattacks.
