Featured Move: Rear Naked Choke

A while ago I wanted to differentiate between variations of the "sleeper" hold in my Featured Move posts. The last post featured the dragon sleeper chokehold, and while the sleeper is distinctive enough on its own, I realized that the term "sleeper hold" itself originated from pro wrestling. The name "rear naked choke" has more basis in grappling styles (i.e., BJJ and judo) and therefore better reflects my interests, so I'll be calling this by the grappling name for future reference. That being said, I'll still tag these posts with the "sleeper" label for convenience sake, I'll just add "RNC" too. If I'm being too pedantic please let me know.

Of course, I could just be overthinking this...

Anyway, here are some hot sleepers rear naked chokes!
