The “Mata Leao” or Rear Naked Choke is one of the essential chokes of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Considered to be the king of submissions, as we do not have to fight any large muscles groups to secure this choke, and get to use both of our arms against their neck, even a much smaller attacker can finish a bigger opponent with relative ease.
This is a must know technique for everyone, but if you just watched it in the UFC without practicing it, you will be missing out on a few pivotal points that can cost you the finish.
