Difficulty VIII of X
  1. 01

    From back control, secure a deep collar grip across the throat, four fingers in, wrist bladed against the near carotid.

  2. 02

    Release the bottom hook and swing that leg over the opponent's near shoulder, pinning it.

  3. 03

    Grip the near-side pant leg or thigh with the free hand.

  4. 04Precision point

    Draw the collar and the leg apart along one straight line, as a string is drawn from a bow. The pull travels along the carotid, never upward into the jaw.

  5. 05

    Arch through the hips to finish; the opponent's own collar performs the surgery.
