rear naked choke

Grappling finishing move

A rear naked choke is a chokehold applied from behind, wrapping one arm around the opponent's neck and using the other arm to lock it in place.

The "naked" refers to not needing a gi or clothing for grip—just bare arms.

It's a fundamental submission technique in wrestling, jiu-jitsu, and mixed martial arts: He sank in the rear naked choke and got the tap in the second round.
