The D’Arce Choke (also known as the ‘No Gi Brabo Choke’) is a great submission to tap your opponent out when you’re in his half guard and he’s trying to take your back. In this short video BJJ blackbelt Stephan Kesting shows you the 7 steps to a better D’Arce submission. Download Stephan’s BJJ Position Checklist for free at https://www.grapplearts.com/book.

This technique looks crazy, but is actually related to a very functional (although flashy) move from the sitting on shoulder position that is one of the hub positions of the Omoplata attack system.

The post 30 Second Fight Finishes, How to End a Match As Fast As Possible appeared first on jitseasy.

I have been using the Omoplata for more than 2 decades and it has always served me well. Sometimes I would finish the submission itself, but even if that didn’t work the attempt usually led to other submissions, sweeps, and reversals.

In the last few years my percentage for finishing the Omoplata submission itself has shot up. Why? It’s because I started placing a much larger emphasis on breaking my opponent’s alignment before trying to apply the armlock itself.

In the first video you’ll see how I used to do it. I would go to the finish even if my opponent’s knees were still under him (giving him base) and if his spine was still in good biomechanical position (posture). Sometimes it worked but most of the time my opponent would roll out which would result in a scramble. Usually I would get to the top in that scramble which was great, but I could’ve been doing it better.

Now as soon as I sit up my main focus instantly becomes breaking down his base and his posture. If he’s sprawled out with his spine twisted then his ability to wriggle or roll out is much curtailed and it’s much, much easier to finish him.

There are a number of different ways to accomplish this alignment break. I currently use 3 or 4 main methods vs the turtle, but there are also Omoplata entries that take you directly to this position of broken alignment.

TLDR: Break his alignment, finish way more submissions.

Switching to no gi grappling can be difficult. Here are 5 steps that will make it easier… 1) Accept that No Gi is an inherently faster style of grappling and be prepared to push the pace harder at times, 2) Change your grips so that they aren’t gi dependent, 3) Get rid of your gi dependent guards and start developing guards that work in no gi, 4) Learn how to take the back, maintain the back and submit from the back because it’s the best position in no gi grappling, 5) Develop your leglock and guillotine choke submissions because those are much more prevalent in no gi than in gi.

If you would like some more help developing your gi and no gi games then here are a couple of FREE resources for you…
