M.G.C. #415: Anaconda Choke/Darce Choke from Sprawl Control
Перевод: Anaconda Choke (katakana loanword)
The anaconda choke from sprawl with hip-walk finish applies the head-and-arm strangle after sprawling on a takedown attempt, then uses the hip-walk method to progressively tighten the compression. [1] The sprawl provides the initial positional advantage — the opponent's head is driven to the mat and one arm is naturally exposed for the anaconda thread. [1],[2] From the sprawl, the attacker threads the choking arm, locks the grip, then walks the hips incrementally toward the opponent's head to ratchet the choke tighter. [2] This variant is valued in MMA for its ability to counter takedowns directly into a fight-ending submission without pulling guard. [2],[3]
Sprawl-to-anaconda transitions became a signature MMA counter-wrestling technique in the mid-2000s as the sport's grappling sophistication increased. [1] The hip-walk finish added a controlled, methodical alternative to the gator roll for fighters who preferred maintaining top position pressure. [2],[3]
Effective wrestling-to-submission transition — the sprawl defends the takedown while the hip-walk provides a controlled, top-position finish without needing to pull guard. [1]
Combines wrestling sprawl defence with the anaconda arm-triangle and hip-walk finishing method. Represents the wrestling-to-submission grappling evolution. [1]
Seen in MMA and submission wrestling when wrestlers defend takedowns and convert to anaconda attacks. The hip-walk finish is preferred by competitors who want to maintain top position. [1]

You need to start in sprawl control with an arm threaded through your opponent's guard. According to Modesto Judo Club's M.G.C. #415, this arm placement is essential before you can execute the choke effectively.
Roll to your left, then use a bicycle motion with your legs to hook your opponent's body while arching your back to apply pressure. Modesto Judo Club emphasizes that this arching motion combined with the hook creates a very tight finish.
Try the bicycle leg motion to find a better hook point on your opponent's body—this mechanical adjustment helps lock in the choke more securely than attempting to muscle it, according to Modesto Judo Club's instructional approach.
