WHAT DOES FULL NELSON MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Nelson hold

A nelson hold is a grappling hold which is executed from behind the opponent. One or both arms are used to encircle the opponent's arm under the armpit, and secured at the opponent's neck. Several different Nelson holds exist, and they can be separated according to the positioning of the encircling arm. The term "nelson" is derived from "full nelson", which dates back to the early 19th century. It has been suggested that it was named after the British war-hero Admiral Horatio Nelson, who used strategies based on surrounding the opponent to win the Battle of the Nile and the Battle of Trafalgar, but its true origin remains uncertain.
