PERUVIAN NECKTIE

The Peruvian necktie is the front-headlock submission in which the attacker traps the opponent's head and one arm in a guillotine-style configuration, then rolls forward and to the side to apply both neck pressure and trapped-arm leverage that produces a fast finish. The technique is part of the modern front-headlock attack chain alongside guillotine, D'Arce, and anaconda, and is one of the most distinctive variations because the rolling-forward mechanics produce a finishing geometry that the other front-headlock attacks cannot replicate.

The mechanics begin from a front-headlock position (typically after sprawling on the opponent's shoot) with the opponent's head trapped under the attacker's body and the opponent's near arm available for capture. The attacker threads one arm around the opponent's neck while gripping the opponent's near arm with the other hand. The attacker then rolls forward and to the same side as the trapped arm, allowing the rolling momentum to drive the combined neck and arm leverage into a finishing position. The opponent lands on their back with the attacker beside or behind them, and the finish comes from squeezing the neck-arm configuration while the rolling momentum compresses the carotids.

The Peruvian necktie has been used by various front-headlock specialists in MMA and grappling competition. Notable practitioners include Tony Ferguson (used it in MMA), Jeff Glover, and various 10th Planet system competitors. Defensively the Peruvian necktie is escaped by recognizing the roll setup early and rolling in the opposite direction, by stripping the neck-encircling arm before the rolling momentum builds, or by tucking the chin to deny carotid access during the rolling phase.
