TNA iMPACT! & ReAction LD for 11.18.10

To any MMA fans, why is it called a rear naked choke? Is that really the best name you could come up with?

See Wiki:

The term rear naked choke likely originated from the technique in Jujutsu and Judo known as the "Hadaka Jime", or "Naked Strangle." 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.

Because it's a naked choke from the rear? I think the definition is pretty apparent in the name...


It's like you're asking why they call it a "front kick".
 
Long time lurker but I have to log in to say that MMA thing was really bad. Why would Jarrett throw his students towards Joe? How is throwing your allies towards the enemy without them knowing a good idea? Wouldn't it make more sense to use them as a shield instead?
