Difference Between Anaconda & Darce Chokes

I still get the question quite a bit about the differences between the Anaconda and Darce chokes. It can be a little confusing in the beginning to distinguish these, so here is a short video to help quickly illustrate the difference. Hope this helps!

[@Davyen]

When applying Anaconda, the attacker goes "HISSSSSSSSSSS!", like a snek, whereas in D'arce there's no hissing. Next question!

[@ThaIceman2006]

I like to whisper in their ear & promise them it's fine & everything will be OK. 😇But it won't. 😈

“Like a snek“ you legend 😂😂

[@dbarpuck]

Ive never heard anyone else say this, but i always remember it as An"neck"conda, as the choking hand enters at the neck, and DARce enters under the ARmpit.. im dumb so it helps me remember🤷‍♂️

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s actually a great pneumonic device!

Not dumb at all! Medical Doctors use mnemonics like this to get through med school. It helps a lot!

[@theformula9525]

So fluid and gentle with the demonstration even without harming and making your student tap. Well done sensei...

Make sure the wife is sleeping when doin the video😅😅😅😅

[@n1arda374]

Thanks, was just thinking what the difference is

[@MrRussianGerman]

Very straight fwd thank you

[@jefonline]

thanks man yiu explained that well

[@DJayDiamond]

Why do either of these instead of a normal headlock?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Headlocks don’t typically choke, they just control. These are for submissions.

[@DJayDiamond]

@@KnightJiuJitsu sorry I meant guillotine

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

@@DJayDiamond - the guillotine, especially the 10-finger, is another potential option, as are the Peruvian necktie and some others. It depends on the defensive response of the person on bottom and it’s usually a good idea to have multiple tools to use in combination to increase the chance of success.

[@CyrusTJ]

Thank you😊

[@erickaguedo7850]

Awesome vid this really did make what seemed complex real easy!

[@keithbrindle8953]

Thanks

[@semja]

One of the best explanations of the difference I've ever seen

[@marctoleds6259]

Wow! Your teaching diddatics are just great!!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you!

[@aarongiza1469]

4 years of practicing and I just learnt the difference today, shame on me

[@nathan.nile03]

Still had to watch a couple times to finally see what was happening 😅

[@a_son_of_a_beach]

As a lanky 6'3 200lb individual, these 2 are my highest percentage locks. Thanks for the video ❤

[@trizzo343]

Yep, long arms help getting these

[@robinjoy2789]

My training partner made me do this like 10 × so now when I watch the video I'm able to follow along but any other video I can watch all day and not understand it. 😂 damn it

[@tra1in1]

Lock by the armpit or lock by the neck. It is that simple.

[@alexisdangayio8514]

Ithough was called dark chocke😅😅😅

[@daltonswabb]

I love these chokes they are so beautiful. Unfortunately these are chokes I just don't have a knack for. My go to is RNC or armlocks

[@nebby2722]

Appreciate the tips. Can’t wait for my stepdad to piss me off again

[@bracker9382]

I love the front headlock, especially when they're snapped down into turtle. But I have trouble setting up darce's from the spot. I usually swim around to try and take the back. Your demonstration certainly helps a lot, I'll be sure to drill it tonight after class. Thanks you

[@amiralkook1]

Hi from Paris France. Thanks for your video. There are different ways for the Anaconda for ex the way by expanding my right leg straight like a barrage , fell to my right side and trap his leg.

[@ThunderousNinja]

You're more helpful than any gym I've trained in. God bless you guys! My bros and I are doing some independent MMA and are doing track wrestling. I just got tired of all the drama in gyms.

[@mudstaind26]

Great explanation and demo of both holds - and done under a minute! Thank you much for this video.

[@thebaneking4787]

Thank you for this. I’ve been out of BJJ for 8yrs and sometimes forget little things. I’m grateful my friend.

[@codybouscaren6492]

[@tommyv5435]

What does the leg assist do at the end of the anaconda?

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Sometimes the person in the choke is able to still flare the trapped arm, thereby opening enough space to resist the choke. The leg reinforces the arm configuration and prevents the person from flaring their arm.

[@sleepwell489]

So basically they are the same, thanks

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Same, except they’re the opposite 😂

What’s a brabo?

A brabo is a variation of the Darce using gi grips

[@LifesNotHereToSatisfyYou]

Ur just hitting the same submission from a different angle 💥🤯💥

[@ThaIceman2006]

I always struggle to recall which is which, but I've had success by telling myself that an anaconda always goes for the neck 1st. I really appreciate your combo of demonstration & explanation. Individually they may not be any better or worse than any other's on KZbin, but for whatever reason the way they flow together make a very solid impression on me & come of really strong. Thank you!

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

Why the satanic pentagram?

[@henryfrfr]

Why not

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

It’s just part of the design. The company is called Supernatural Survival Gear so there’s lots of stuff ranging from witchcraft to zombies to ghosts and other made up things. Doesn’t mean anything.

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

@@KnightJiuJitsu the greatest power in Satan is in the LIE that he doesn't exist and that he doesn't mean anything .

Ok. Choose to believe what you want. It’s your right. Just letting you know that I’m not trying to promote anything evil or whatever.

You gotta tell that lady to respect the fact youre recording

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I understand that perspective, but I was also recording while she was teaching a class next door, so I don't feel that's my place to ask her to be quiet. I would have waited, but this was the only time I had a chance to record that day. Always lots happening at Fit to Fight.
