Lapel Strangle from Back

Use this finishing sequence from back control to strangle with the lapel. It works by feeding the lapel deep to create a noose around the opponent's neck, using the second hand to remove all slack from the jacket, then employing the legs to push and upper body to pull in opposite directions, creating an immensely strong scissoring force that strangles quickly.
