10 MMA Maneuvers Wrestlers Should Use More Often

Popularized during the 1990s and early 2000s by Peruvian professional mixed martial artist and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Anton Nicolas de Souza, the Peruvian Necktie is similar to an Arm-in Guillotine Choke, except the set-up is a bit different. Whereas with a Guillotine, you grip your opponent's neck and bring them back into your arms, the Necktie requires you to extend your arm to reduce the amount of distance between you and your opponent's neck. And, for what its worth, the hold kind of looks like you've made a necktie around your opponent.

The Peruvian Necktie isn't going to be an end-game finisher in most cases. Still, it's a submission typically used in amateur wrestling that rarely makes its way into professional wrestling.

Commonly applied from the front headlock position, the Necktie allows tremendous control over an opponent, adding an extra element to mat and chain wrestling sequences. Perhaps it's a move that suits the likes of a Cesaro. With full control over an opponent, it can be cranked into a mean-spirited submission hold, daring any of its victims to tap out or experience the sensation of their neck tearing to shreds.
