![]() ![]() From here we again grab our opposite bicep and roll our opponent, this time progressing all the way to the top and walking our hips across to a side control like position. You need to open your pliers as wide possible to get the best grip on a bolt, your elbow is the same. It is important to remember that this is very difficult with the arm bent, it needs to straighten then bend again to get a good grip. Placing one hand on the head we roll to our own flank or back, driving the choking arm as far through the armpit and out the neck as possible. From front headlock it is necessary to sacrifice the position in order to sink the choke to an effective depth. This motion is hard from front headlock, but is what makes the choke available is so many more positions than the anaconda. The Darce is very similar to the Anaconda, the main difference being that in the Darce the choking arm goes in the armpit and out the neck, the opposite of the anaconda. Some people are absolutely obsessed with it and It is available almost everywhere. ![]() The Darce choke is the Starbucks coffee of chokes. As such it doesn’t cost me anything to try to finish off my back but frequently it feels like I am less likely to lose the choke. Additionally if they are not tapping, I am free to continue my roll to the more conventional finish, hooking their legs with my own. From here they cannot post their arms to the mat to make space along their throat. It is my preference to do this by rolling to my back and bridging. To finish the choke it is helpful to put pressure on the back of the opponents head to compress their neck further onto our arm. ![]() From here, we look to duck our head and roll our opponent. Once the choking arm is as deep as possible, it will grab the bicep of our other arm forming a ‘rear naked choke’ style tie. This is the defining feature of the choke. For the Anaconda the choking arm goes in the neck and out the armpit. Once, the elbow is collapsed we hold it in position with our palm and sink the other arm as deep as possible. This can be done with your own elbow, without releasing the grip. Beginning from front headlock, the first step is to collapse the trapped arm, pushing the elbow across the opponents midline. In some of our later chokes we will need to give up position to get the appropriate grip for the choke, but the Anaconda allows us to stay on top until our grip is secure. It does involve rolling to finish, but the actual entry is reasonably low risk. The anaconda choke can be a very strong choke, especially if you have larger arms. ![]() If their head begins to pop out our armpit they are closer to hitting a sit out style escape. Different grips will favor different chokes, but we generally want to hold our opponents head in the middle of our chest and use our elbow to keep them there. We have a grip with one arm along our opponents neck and the other under their armpit, hands clasped beneath them. All of these chokes begin from the same position. Each of these chokes has its own advantages and disadvantages. The idea is that one of my arms will constrict blood flow on one side of my opponents neck and their own trapped arm will constrict the other. We will look at several chokes from the position, all of which will involve having one arm inside the choke, in the classic triangle shape. This is a late recap on chokes from front headlock. ![]()
