caption_attribution_description: English: US Marine Corps (USMC) Recruits from 1st Battalion demonstrate the proper technique for a figure four choke hold while participating in the first phase of their Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) training, held aboard Marine Corps Recruit Depot (MCRD), Parris Island, South Carolina (SC).
context_page_description: The rear naked choke is a chokehold in martial arts applied from an opponent's back. The word "naked" in this context suggests that, unlike other strangulation techniques found in Jujutsu/Judo, this hold does not require the use of a keikogi or training uniform.
  The choke has two variations: in one version, the attacker's arm encircles the opponent's neck and then grabs their own biceps on the other arm; in the second version, the attacker clasps their hands together instead after encircling the opponent's neck.

The word "naked" in this context suggests that, unlike other strangulation techniques found in Jujutsu/Judo, this hold does not require the use of a keikogi ("gi") or training uniform.
  The choke has two variations: in one version, the attacker's arm encircles the opponent's neck and then grabs their own biceps on the other arm (see below for details); in the second version, the attacker clasps their hands together instead after encircling the opponent's neck.
