Leg-assisted necktie escape
Also known as Mexican Necktie Escape — the canonical term used on this site.
Descriptive — escape from the leg-assisted necktie variant
Leg-assisted necktie escape is the descriptive name for the Mexican necktie escape — flagging the leg-assist mechanic that distinguishes this necktie variant from the leg-free Japanese version.
Etymology. The descriptor “leg-assisted” specifies the mechanical distinction; “necktie” carries the family name forward. The compound label appears in coaching contexts that emphasise the mechanical-distinction over the regional-naming form.
Mechanics. The escape priority is breaking the leg-assist connection before the choke closes — the legs form one half of the bilateral compression, so disrupting them disrupts the finish.
Cross-reference. “Mexican necktie escape” is the regional-naming form. Full mechanical coverage on Mexican Necktie Escape.
