A neck crank (sometimes also referred to as a neck lock, and technically known as a cervical lock) is a spinal lock applied to the cervical spine causing hyperextension, hyperflexion, lateral hyperflexion, hyperrotation or extension-distraction, either through bending, twisting or elongating. A neck crank is typically applied by pulling or twisting the head beyond its normal ranges of rotation. Neck cranks are included techniques in several martial arts such as Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Judo, but are usually banned from sports competitions, with notable exceptions in combat sports such as submission wrestling and mixed martial arts, where they are used as submission holds.

MMA TRIVIA™
The first UFC fight was Gerald Gordeau vs. Telia Tuli. Within seconds, Gordeau landed a kick that knocked out a pair of Tuli's teeth. One tooth flew past sponsors of Gold's Gym seated at ringside. The other remained entrenched in Gordeau's foot, where it remained during his championship bout with eventual winner Royce Gracie.
