Sneaky Darce from Mount

Gary Berger — Tue, 13 May 2025 14:34:28 +0000

Quick breakdown of a mounted Darce setup. The technique mostly speaks for itself: it is sneaky, unexpected and effective.

But a quick note based on a couple of comments I’ve seen past and present about such techniques. When people see something like this and comment about it being a bad idea in a fight, like a street fight I guess, then yes, probably so. That’s not the context here, though. This is a submission grappling context, possibly even mma although that would be pretty questionable, too. So, maybe before commenting what would happen if this was tried “in da streetz” check the context or even ask if you’re not sure. It’ll save us both some time.

7 Ways to Finish Arm Triangle Chokes Like a Black Belt in BJJ

Gary Berger — Fri, 23 Feb 2024 18:53:07 +0000

Today’s video is going to be a breakdown of the Arm Triangle Submission in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu & MMA and how I would make these 7 adjustments to improve your finishing rate with this submission.

The Arm Triangle is one of my favorite submissions in BJJ, but like most submissions it can be really tough to finish on a competent opponent when even 1 of these 7 details is slightly off.

These 7 adjustments made my Arm Triangle game way better, and I hope they do the same for you!

A lot of these adjustments have come from experience and time. On top of being a coach for a while, there are a few common problem areas where I see my students often struggle.

Many of these details come as answers to those specific common struggles.

If you were having trouble finishing the Arm Triangle, then I hope these tips were helpful.

Thanks for watching.

Darce Choke Dilemmas, Solutions & Combinations | Jiu-Jitsu Choke Essentials

Gary Berger — Tue, 30 Jan 2024 13:20:15 +0000

There are several issues that can make finishing the Darce choke difficult for people. A common problem that individuals will state is having too short of arms, or similarly, their opponent is too thick in the shoulders and upper body.

The way we address Darce issues in this video is by, not only showing details for improving the execution of the strangle, but also showing alternatives to enhance or combine with Darce attempts and failures. We explore guillotine modifications, anaconda dilemmas and no gi baseball bat choke variations, for these reasons. Hope you enjoy!

What’s on the chopping block today? Here is a sequence I like from Americana attempt to head and arm choke, with a pit stop at a nasty shoulder lock when the opponent answers the phone to defend.

Three Escapes from Head & Arm Chokes

Gary Berger — Sun, 31 Jul 2022 14:15:28 +0000

These three escapes for the head and arm choke (arm triangle) give options for the most common energies you’re likely to encounter. Honestly, the 3rd escape is the highest percentage, but oftentimes, the others are necessary to elicit the energy for it to work optimally.

The Chopping Block is the common popular name given to the high mount position with the head and arm isolated. This powerful position is useful for setting up not only arm triangles, but arm locks, punch chokes and back takes as well. In this video, I show details on how to secure this position, as well as some solid options for submissions and taking the back. Hope you enjoy.
