The D'Arce choke applied from the top half-guard position, where the attacker threads the arm under the bottom player's neck while they attempt to underhook or recover guard. This entry capitalises on the bottom player's exposed neck when they turn to their side to initiate a sweep or underhook. It is one of the highest-percentage D'Arce entries in competition.

Биомеханический механизм
Primary Action — Threading the choking arm under the opponent's near-side armpit and around the neck from the front headlock, creating bilateral compression using the attacker's arms and the opponent's own trapped shoulder
Joints Involved — Choking arm (threads under the armpit and around the neck), secondary arm (clasps with the choking arm to complete the figure-four), chest (drives into the opponent to tighten the compression)
Force Vector — Bilateral compression — the D'Arce squeezes the neck between the choking arm on one side and the opponent's own trapped shoulder on the other
Submission Mechanic — The D'Arce works by trapping the opponent's arm against their own neck, then using the figure-four arm configuration to squeeze — the opponent's shoulder becomes part of the choking mechanism

The D'Arce choke from top half-guard is a front-headlock-based arm-triangle submission that capitalizes on the opponent's underhook attempt. According to Stephan Kesting and Great Grappling, the technique is triggered when the bottom player seeks an underhook in half-guard, prompting the top player to thread their arm under the opponent's head and neck. The setup requires feeding the hand deep underneath the opponent's arm and manipulating the neck to break down posture and access the back of the neck. Davis Asare, featured by JonThomasBJJ, emphasizes that the finishing mechanics depend on hand placement—the top hand should walk as high as possible toward the far shoulder rather than remaining low. All three instructors stress the importance of achieving a chest-to-chest position for optimal finishing, with Asare noting that opponents will attempt to escape by facing belly-down or belly-up to prevent this alignment. Great Grappling and Kesting both detail the figure-four grip variation, with Kesting presenting an alternative forearm-to-forearm grip for shorter-armed practitioners or larger opponents. Asare uniquely highlights using the top player's knee, thigh, or hip to drive the opponent's elbow past the centerline, and emphasizes rotating the elbow inward (rather than squeezing blindly) as the primary finishing mechanism. Great Grappling adds that lifting the setup-side elbow toward the ceiling provides superior leverage compared to pure compression. All instructors agree the position is fluid, requiring continuous positional adjustment to maintain chest-to-chest orientation as opponents counter-rotate.
Сформировано на основе 3 инструкторов
- JonThomasBJJ — UFC BJJ Star Davis Asare Teaches World Class Darce: Davis Asare provides detailed finishing mechanics including hand placement on the far shoulder, the concept of driving the opponent's elbow past centerline using knee/thigh/hip pressure, elbow rotation as the primary finish mechanism, and positional cycling to maintain chest-to-chest position as the opponent attempts to escape by rotating belly-down or belly-up.
- Stephan Kesting — How to Do the D'Arce Choke (aka the No Gi Brabo Choke): Kesting demonstrates the foundational entry from half-guard, the standard figure-four grip finish, and introduces a practical variation using a forearm-to-forearm grip (rather than hand-to-bicep) for practitioners with shorter arms or against larger opponents, which converts the technique into more of a neck crank with the chest as counterweight.
- Great Grappling — Half Guard Submission- The Darce: Great Grappling emphasizes the importance of feeding the setup hand deep, manipulating the neck to break posture and access the back of the neck, securing the grip with the bony part of the wrist on the outside of the neck, and critically, lifting the setup-side elbow toward the ceiling as the primary finishing mechanism rather than pure compression.

Часто задаваемые вопросы
Should I rely on strength to finish the D'Arce choke, or is there a better way?
Stephan Kesting emphasizes that while you can finish by squeezing hard if you're very strong, using biomechanics is more effective: drive forward while pushing your arm up into the neck and driving down with the other hand to create a tight choke.
What's the difference between the D'Arce choke and the neck crank variation?
According to Stephan Kesting, when you place your arm on the forearm instead of the bicep and drop your chest for pressure, it becomes more of a neck crank than a choke, with your wrist acting as the fulcrum and your chest providing counterweight pressure on the neck.
How deep should I feed my hand under my opponent when setting up the D'Arce?
Great Grappling instructor explains that how deep you get your setup hand underneath is critical—it dictates whether or not you'll finish the choke, so getting maximum depth is important before cinching the grip.
What part of my wrist should I use to apply pressure on the neck?
Great Grappling emphasizes using the bony part of your wrist on the outside of the neck, avoiding the flat, bendy, or back parts of the wrist that bend, as this creates more effective pressure.
How do I finish the D'Arce when my opponent has an underhook?
Great Grappling demonstrates lifting your inside elbow toward the ceiling after sitting on your opponent's hip and securing the grip—this finish works even when your opponent has a solid underhook.
