full nelson
Illegal wrestling lock
A full nelson is a wrestling hold in which you stand behind your opponent, thrust both arms under their armpits, and clasp your hands behind their neck, immobilizing their upper body.
The move is banned in amateur wrestling because of the pressure it puts on the neck and spine.
He got me in a full nelson and I couldn't break free.
