The Darce choke (also called D'Arce) is a powerful submission from front headlock position using arm and neck pressure.
From front headlock, thread one arm under their arm and grip the opposite collar with your hand inside their collar. This creates an arm-on-neck choke.
The Darce flows naturally from front headlock defense, collar drag transitions, and wrestling clinch positions.
