Rear Naked Choke - "Body Lock or Hooks" Variation

"Body Lock or Hooks" Variation

The placement of the legs usually falls into two categories. The first is a body lock. The attacker places one of his legs across the stomach or lower chest of the victim. He then places his other leg over his own shin, creating a figure-four with his legs. This allows him to limit movement and stay close to the back of his victim. This technique was used by Anderson Silva against Dan Henderson and by Jim Miller against Melvin Guillard. The other common technique is known as using "hooks". In this version the attacker places his legs inside of the victim's legs. He then moves his legs out, placing his shin behind the victim's knees, essentially using his shins and feet as hooks to control the victim's legs.

    Summer, this is our flesh,
    The body you let mature;
    If now while the body is fresh
    You take it, shall we give
    The heart....

    Benjamin: Are you always this much afraid of being alone?
    Mrs. Robinson: Yes.

    Mrs. Robinson: I’m very neurotic.
    Calder Willingham (1923–1995)

    Separatism of any kind promotes marginalization of those unwilling to grapple with the whole body of knowledge and creative works available to others. This is true of black students who do not want to read works by white writers, of female students of any race who do not want to read books by men, and of white students who only want to read works by white writers.
