head scissor from top side

I got caught in this one enough times by the same guy that I had to try to figure it out. Head Scissors is a good option when someone is defending the Kimura well. Both of their arms are occupied defending the arms, so the neck is open to attack.

The key is sliding your legs under the chin and behind the neck in the right alignment that you can squeeze your knees together to finish the choke.
