I just love a channel that dedicates to one technique ❤

Very smooth rolling!

Nice details!

I've heard it called "Philly Saddle" by a few ppl. I think the Miyaos call it that as well. I really like this position in the gi because you kinda force your opponent to almost DQ themselves under IBJJF rules while you can attack the ankle lock or toe hold.

Islam just hit a darce against a Poirier's 4 point.

Nice break down, subbed

Here after UFC 302 did Islam submitted Poirier with a power d’arce or a modified Japanese necktie ?

Whatever happened to John calestine ?? dude was legit

Game changer! The analogy to body triangle is crystal clear. Gonna finally start having a real darce threat.

Mind blown

i've never seen so many darce's in a roll

Good stuff! I like seeing the rolls

your front headlock game is crazy

do you think you'll end uo doing a video on the arm in rnc/arm triangle thing?

Any updates on when this will be released? Looking forward to it!

Hey mate, is your instructional available? Wasnt much on reddit these days :D

Love that his old spars are worth watching.

This is an excellent breakdown i use this technique a good bit & learned a couple extra details that i can tighten it up w/ from your tutorial, good job!

❤❤❤

Will ur instructional be available at 2nd of april?

Thank you so much for this video. Can’t wait to try this 😍

Great tips! What is the most effective darce defense in your opinion (once someone has the darce grip)? I feel like late defenses rarely work

I like that. Nicely explained and demonstrated. 👍

Nice, would love to see a video on defence from this position 😊

Awesome detail! Can’t wait for the insctructional to come out.

Thanks Drew ! Oss

I got into D'arcing (and other front headlock shit) about 4 or 5 years ago now and you've been there just about every step of the way. Thanks for all the info you've put out on this position over the years Darce Knight.

When I’m doing this slide in mechanic they are able move their arm across my body like you showed. But I’m not going into the gator roll, I’m just trying to acquire the lock while their weight is settled. What do you do to prevent them moving their arm across your body and ending up in north south when sliding in? Really appreciate the videos!

I love your content. Where will we be able to find the instructional?

Good stuff 🙌

Lovely 😊 thanks 🙏 very much for sharing

Pretty sick shit from the darce knight. Would love to see a full sequence from us being on the side of the quad pod though getting to the FHL. I know I'd lose those grips pretty much instantly.

Excited for this instructional

Great details 🔥

I like to aggressively punch and pull, like a reverse judo chop, the hand through so it jolts them off balance as I fall back. Taking a big breath in as you squeeze also puts more pressure on the choke. Really nice tips and technical instruction mate.. love your content.

thanks!

Thank you very much! Will try this tomorrow :)

You have a phenomal channel!

This helps a lot!

Drew, can you post a video about the high wrist? i haven't seen any good videos explaining it. i've tried working it myself for the past 3 months but haven't hit anyone good in the gym with it.

My main Problem with the darce right now is, that sometimes my partner manages to go flat on their *back. Do you have any advice on how to prevent it or any follow up moves? So far I'm trying to switch to a arm in north south choke.

What is your go to pattern when you're going for the darce ? As in how do you personally decide what you'll go for first

Thank you…after the many darce instructions I have watched, you are the only one who was able to give a clear definition of the marce (lock side up) vs the darce (lock side down). Kudos again for the great instructional

its basically all "head and arm strangles" , with a different grip on the lock, transitions between anacondas, arm in gilloutines and reverse anacondas (darce) can become just as smooth as this nice demo....greetings from europe (26 years experience with this technique)

Love it

you should try out a different grip, when locking up your "reverse anaconda". It might still working but the mechanics of the grip / strangle improve a lot, when you modifie your grip by grabbing your own forearm close to your wrist (lile a kimura grip). The way you do it , sinking it in deep by grabbing your upper arm, has some weakneses. The main ones are: 1.) It only works on opps, who are not much bigger than you / arm length needed (not with the modified grip! 2.) instead of getting a clean strangle you get something more like a neckcrank by using the bladed part of the forearm 3.) it is almost impossible to finish / allows opp for a solid defence and counters 4.) it is very hard to transition to other chokes related to the same position (like the arm in gilloutine for example) greetings from cologne germany, the origin of the Björn technique, also known as darce or reverse anaconda

nice job and really interesting concept!! .....makes sence, since both are "head and arm chokes"

What happend to Eddie?

Great stuff

Good stuff! Glad to see you posting more!!
