What is Peruvian Necktie in BJJ?

Quick Definition

A front headlock choke that uses the legs to apply choking pressure.

Full Explanation

The Peruvian necktie is a front headlock submission where you wrap your arm around the opponent's neck and throw your leg over their back, using leg pressure combined with the arm to create a choke. It is similar to a guillotine but uses the leg for additional squeezing power. The technique gets its name from Peruvian grappler Tony DeSouza. It is effective against opponents who turtle or are in the front headlock position.
