Best practice: don't get in a John Mejia D'arce. It's bad. Real bad.
The first time I ever got submitted in competition was my first time competing at Gracie Worlds. I got caught in a D'arce after 13 and a half minutes of completely dominating the match. I was completely heartbroken. I came home and obsessed.
John, if you want I can film how I survive when I am completely locked up. That may have been more what you were looking for. Let me know.
And I definitely have to do a video on the armbar defense. I have gotten a TON of private messages asking about it.
