Half Guard Submission- The Darce
ฝัง

- In this video I explain how to apply the Darce choke. This is a very common choke with a large variety of setups. During this instructional video I demonstrate how to enter the Darce choke when your opponent has an underhook. Most commonly this will happen when you are in Half Guard top or Side Control.
There are a couple of very important points when trying to finish the Darce choke. The first and most important thing to remember is head control. If you reference the video you will see that I control my opponents head with my free hand. I use it to pull the head in and make it easier to get a deep grip with the choking hand.
Once you have your opponents neck posture broken it is best to control the back of the head with your hand and then lead with your elbow to the back of their head. This will insure that you get a tight grip on your bicep without allowing your opponent to get their posture back.
Once you get your hand to your bicep it is a good idea to walk your free hand up tight on your opponents shoulder. This will cinch up the hold and make it very tight. At this point I do something differently than most of my colleagues. Most commonly you will see people squeeze their elbows together and make everything very tight. While I find this to be helpful in finishing the submission I almost always find it easier to lift towards the ceiling with my choking arm (the arm that is overhooking). This will GREATLY increase the pressure of the hold and it never burns out your arms.
The important thing to remember is that you want to maintain your dominate position at all costs. Even if you reverse sit and keep your legs threaded through your opponents legs to increase the pressure (a very common finish to the Darce) I suggest staying tight enough that you can not be rolled to the bottom. This will take some getting used to and some perception but will lead to a lot more success in grappling, not just the Darce.
I just won my first tournament using this in the finals, which I learnt from this video. Your videos have become a fundamental part of my game, I rely on the techniques I learnt from them almost as much as the things I learnt from my IRL professor. Just wanted to say thanks!
I'm glad that these videos are helping you!! If you have any questions about techniques don't hesitate to send me a message.
Nice details and thank you for showing it from different angles!
Thanks! I am a taller, longer guy and frequently use the Darce. I usually would just try and inhale making my chest as big as possible and squeezing, which occasionally has led to my arms gassing out and me losing position. However, this video, and raising my arm rather than squeezing, has helped a lot. As a result I hit and complete the Darce a lot more often. Thanks again, great advice, and technique!
This vídeo was the best that I c until now, tx
Thanks again for all the videos!
VERY well-produced video and great instruction. I'll be changing my settings to get emailed whenever you upload a vid...keep em coming!
Great detail. thank you.
Very good! Thanks so much!I appreciate it.👍🏻🥋
Great teaching ability.
Beautiful
Really great instruction, thank you. I've been looking for this from half guard top for awhile now. Not making it happen at all yet though.
You explain well!
This is cool, gonna try it out next roll
Nice vid cheers! My best choke!
Will eagerly be trying this one out on just the appropriate test-subject... :D
Great, Ima try this!
Nice
pimpin ain't easy but its necessary. Great vid!
The darce can be really tough against a larger opponent. You'll find that people with longer arms do this with more success. Not wearing a gi helps a lot as well. Also, if you enter from a north/south position or a turtle position you can have more success making space.
Quick suggestion to anyone who gets it locked in. Sweep their bottom leg almost to the point where they are kneeing themselves in face and roll on your outside shoulder. Then flex your top shoulder. Guaranteed to make them tap.
Since it wasn't covered at all: with bigger guys, instead of cupping your bicep with your hand like shown - grip your wrist right above your hand to finish the same way. Arm over the head pulls the head into your body; arm down his body lifts up to the sky. This should be a blood choke and not a neck crank. He showed the sitting variation, but adjusting to push into the shoulder from below is just as good.
Does anyone have any tips for controlling their head/neck? The biggest problem I have with this is when they posture their head back really hard and don't let me bring the head down.
Im sure you've mastered it by now but if not, i like to gable grip to really control the neck and head before i feed the inside of my elbow to my hand (1:28)
I bait the darce players from half guard. Take your underhook and slide is back in to grab wrist of hand shooting the darce. Once you got it shimmy our slide your hips underneath them. They have nothing to post.
I want that Gi
grayson0311 no you don’t
i find it really hard for me to perform this choke simply cant reach on bigger guys but long arms do well on this choke
I totally agree with you. Having short arms or going against people with large shoulders and necks can make it difficult.
My suggestion is to go for other setups for this move. This particular one will be tough.
If you can lock it in you might be able to get the japanese necktie
big guy here with short arms reach in like a normal darce, then circle around and straighten up (closer to the head) your arm is now about half a foot longer. your welcome

hard to pull off against a bigger guy
this choke is hard to do on someone I don't recommend it.
