Inside Neck Hook Takedown

Use this when facing a wrestler with strong sprawl defense who shuts down leg attacks. It bypasses the hips entirely by controlling the neck and head, pulling the opponent off-balance into a guillotine-like position, then finishing with a circular sprawl that lands you in back control.
