Mandible Choke from Back Control

When the opponent tucks their chin so effectively that the arm cannot get underneath, come over the mandible (jaw/chin area) instead. Turn the arm slightly to rotate their head toward the choke, then drive down and squeeze the same as a standard RNC to get a blood choke.
