Good
clear instructional
Great instructional with many entries into the Darce choke from various positions.
Super detailed video by someone who has clearly mastered this move.
Dave is a great instructor and his insights in gi and nogi are worth its weight in gold
this is fire
Learned a great deal about the different entries. But would be better if more time were spent to explain the mechanics in detail
Comprehensive darce instructional, specifically on the finding darce in different situations
If you practice one or two of these from each position that he demonstrates you’ll start to see these whenever the elbow opens with a path all the way to the neck. Once that space opens, if you get the hip side arm in you work to darce and if you get the head side arm in you Ezekiel (Gi) or figure four and work an arm in style choke from there (some people are starting to call this style choke a Ruotolotine). Either ways it’s pretty simple once you start to see these openings and understand the role of each hand and the angles required for a true blood choke. I recommend this to anyone looking further understand Darcie’s and how to hunt them.
Great tips from Dave. His explanation on the move is excellent and helped me understand it better.
Dave is a fantastic instructor and has a way of explaining techniques in a simple, clear manner that is easy for us beginners to understand!
Dave has the best and most technical Darce in the game. This video is worth it for the mechanics alone. The 47 setups are bonus
One of my favorite submissions to learn about while I'm recovering from an injury.
Thank you
very thorough and systematic. great stuff.
I love this move
A ton of great options and details from Dave.
Very good, nice and clear
Clear and easy to follow.
Great value set for up-ing darce game
I love darces and this series gives darces from many different setups. I haven't learned or tried them all but I picked some from different positions that I've worked into my game and just watching the others and being aware of the possibilities has helped me to end up with more darces in scramble type situations. I would high recommend this series.
D. P. puts every instruction straight to the point. He shows the how's and why's and the dont's. Concise and clear!
I loved using this with my wrestling and jitz great Instructional! I am ready for purple belt!!
5’7 guy with Trex arms, this instructional helped me understand the mechanics to pull the darce on my gorilla neck training partners.
As his master Pedro Sauer, Dave Porter is very technical. He as a very scientific approach and his teaching is very clear and methodical.
