Skydive? Can you explain? So you Darce, step over to mount, and then do something else?

Also, I saw Bollinger do it at the ADCC west coast trials. I;d love to hear his thoughts on it, as he's good with the Darce, the Marce, and all the variations.

I like that marce, I haven't seen it taught from there before. Some good stuff!!

I started doing this after seeing some competition footage of Ryan Hall doing it. It really allows you to put a lot of weight on his shoulder resulting in a quick tap. I've also found that I don't have to squeeze nearly as hard because I have so much more leverage from the mount.

That's what I like. You can rip their head clean off with the pressure and you don't even have to squeeze as hard. I try to keep my shoulder heavy on his as I step over. I posted a lot of competition footage in this thread already. Also, it's hard to get bucked off. A lot of people are getting swept with butterfly hooks from the top-side Darce position these days.

Sky dive is where you have mount with your feet crossed like guard and your knees off the mat....It's a very strong mount.

I'm having a hard time keeping my base in the skydive with the choke on unless I really post hard on my head, but when I do that it feels like my base isn't as strong to the sides and my arms are busy choking so I also have no posts. It works, but I feel more secure keeping one or both knees on the mat... at least when finishing the Darce/Brabo choke from the mount.

Any advice?

I believe finishing the darce from mount is by far the best way to finish! Even if I hit glover's marce, I try to roll the guy onto his back so i can finish in the mount.

Sick finish. Side note -- Ryan Hall jacks fools up with The Truck.

I try to take most of my chokes to mount if I can, darce, anaconda, guillotine arm in/out, triangle. Gravity is a friend.
