Thank you for being so precise in describing the details, especially on chasing them with your hips and locking at the tricep vs the armpit. That was a light bulb moment for me as a lowly white belt that tries to snatch up Darce chokes that folks always survive.
Man, the level of knowledge is insane. I know i shouldnt be suprised given hes a blackbelt from 10th planet but every video i watch i discover a new way this guy could kill someone😂 outstanding.
Lots of gems in this video. Thanks much! I notice that wether you do a darce or anaconda you choose the option where the “knot” of your figure-four’d arms is on the top side - towards the ceiling. But in a regular darce from half guard, the knot is on the bottom- mat side. For example, at 4:50, why switch the choking arm? I feel like there’s a principle that governs this but I can’t think of it.
Are talking about when I slip my head through and go to the marce? I think the top side finish is the most powerful once you get the hang of it. But I feel like I find the marce finish more often. What I want you to strive for is to have no preference for either. Allow your opponent to hang himself and just follow him wherever he leads you; just keep the trap closed with those 4 rules. Let all your movements and counters be movements that deepen the trap. Wait until the time is right and lock it up.
@@brandonmcninja Thank you for your reply! Yes, the 4 rules makes sense, and letting the opponent choose how to hang themself makes sense too, but I'm trying to understand the principles of the marce and anaconda rather than memorizing specific entries to them. It seems like the marce can be applied with choking arm above them or below them depending on your bodies orientations to each other whereas I usually only see the anaconda with their choking arm (their arm in your loop) on the topside. I think an anaconda with the choking arm on the bottom isn't ideal because they'd be laying right on my hand/elbow, so it's better to just switch to a marce like you did in the video. Am I understanding that right?
Another excellently timed video with great details Question coach, how does the peruvian or Japanese necktie relate here? Is it ever a good idea to switch to one of them when they're escaping a guillotine/darce/Anaconda
Hey! How do you prevent them to rip your chin strap immediately after you roll over your shoulder. That's the most common reaction I am seeing before them trying to turn away or towards me. Thank you
Nothing like figuring out a key reason why your darce sucks in the first 5 seconds of the video. Behind Danaher and Gordon, BMac’s the best on the net.
The Marce is the variation where you finish from your side or back, as demonstrated in the video. The name comes from “Marc Laimon’s Darce,” as he’s the one who popularized this variation of it many years ago.
