In mma there is a "technique" called a rear naked choke. Not sure where the name comes from, but essentially if an opponent turns their back to you (this typically happens if they are on the ground underneath you and you are dropping punches and elbows), you snake your arms around their neck and constrict until either a)they tap out or b)they pass out.

I made the mistake once of giving up my back and then not tapping out. Next thing I knew I was being revived by the instructor - I had no clue what had happened. I learned two things from that day - 1) don't let me opponent get my back and if he does and manages to get me in a choke then 2) tap!!
