Darce Defense - Picture Day <VIDEO>

[bobby rivers]

It works. I don't get darced or jnt'd anymore and my life is better because of it.

I still got something I wanna play with on you. It evolved primarily for this defense. We'll see.

Awesome to hear that it has already helped you. I'm very cautious with my neck these days, so to hear that it is saving yours is great. Be nice to your neck, boys. It don't last forever.

Once your training partners get hip to this defense, you're gonna see them start sliding under to a marce/farce variation. Be prepared to take advantage of their movement and find top position. By switching to the marce, they will change the angle, rendering your frame useless; but they will also open a brief window for you to switch your hips, extend your trapped arm, and gain top position. Look for that opportunity.

Thanks for posting the video and also for the info here! This looks great, and I definitely need to take care of my neck too. I was going to ask about the marce/farce switch. Would it also be correct to say that someone dropping their hip to face your feet and and stepping over to mount would also change the angle, mess with your frame, and force an adjustment to be made?

That is my preferred Darce finish. That having been said, the Picture Day frame still kills it. For that variation to work you need the Darce locked up and ready to squeeze. With the frame in, you never feel secure enough, and the mount attempt never really happens. If they have crazy long arms and decide to figure-4 and mount despite your frames, you're still gonna survive. Sounds crazy, I know. You gotta try it tonight.

The mounted variation changes the angle against the frame, but still has to fight the frame to be succesful; the marce evades the frame entirely. But that evasion comes at a price: opportunity for the defender.

I will start trying to get the rest of this stuff up for you guys. In the meantime, I'll do my best to answer any questions y'all may have. Sometimes words on a page just won't suffice.

These words on a page are helping a lot. Thank you. In general to be a good darcer you need to be able to chase it everywhere, no matter where it goes. I guess this defense makes that more important than ever. I'll try it out and have training partners try it. Thanks!

Wow, I saw the video, tried it, and saved myself from three chokes in a night. Thanks!
