The Short D'Arce is a D'Arce choke variation from the front headlock where the choking arm threads only partially under the opponent's armpit — a shorter wrap that relies on tighter body positioning and greater squeeze pressure to compensate for the reduced arm thread depth. [1] The short D'Arce is used when the attacker's arms are not long enough for the full D'Arce wrap or when the opponent's defence prevents deep threading. [1],[2]
Developed within the BJJ/grappling submission system. [1]
Used in BJJ, MMA, and submission grappling competition. [1]

Keep your thumb right above the opponent's neck so that the blade of your forearm cuts off the carotid artery on the far side. Then walk your arm up through and connect to your bicep, making sure you're compressing both sides of the neck rather than just yanking and cranking (fightTIPS).
If your opponent pulls their tricep in to hide the space where you'd insert your knee, you can transition to a guillotine choke instead by popping your hand through and grabbing the back of the palm, then finishing with a regular straight guillotine (fightTIPS).
You want to make sure you're cutting off all oxygen by compressing both sides of the neck rather than yanking and cranking, which is less efficient and relies on brute force instead of proper technique (fightTIPS).
Control the opponent's chin and tricep first, then drop to the side while keeping their head down so they can't posture up. This allows you to shoot your arm through to set up the choke (fightTIPS).

Стандартная цепочка подготовки: Establish Control Position → Secure the Specific Grip → Position the Choking Surface → Apply Compression → Finish.
Стандартные контрприёмы: Hand fighting — stripping the grip before the choke is set / Chin tuck — protecting the throat / Posture — creating distance to prevent the choke / Turning — turning to face the attacker.
Распространённые варианты: This is a specific variation (see parent genus/species for alternative variations).
Used in BJJ, MMA, and submission grappling competition.
Основные ошибки, на которые стоит обратить внимание: Applying too fast — gradual application is safer and often more effective / Wrong grip positioning — the specific grip variation defines this technique; incorrect grip = different technique / Not controlling posture before applying / Holding after the tap — release immediately.
