In this position he massages pressure points on the scalp while compressing the carotid artery, which controls the flow of blood to the brain. Eventually the lack of circulation will cause the opponent to lose consciousness.
System: If the character can maintain his grip for three rounds, including the first, the opponent will automatically fall unconscious. This is a Sustained Hold.
