Lock-on-top Darce (aka Marce) benefits

There are lots of awesome ways to finish the darce, and I think if you're going to invest any time with it, that you at least get good at a basic lock-on-bottom and lock-on-top method. For those of us that like lock-on-bottom (marce / Homer Simpson darce / sliding darce) finishes, here are a few of the reasons why. 2 reasons I forgot to mention are that the waking in like Homer Simpson along the floor makes the loop as small as possible without you having to manually do it, and the floor is also a great source of power to put pressure on the choke without using arm power. I will keep getting better at these videos, and I hope this helps! :)
EDIT: CORRECTION: When I say, “when he’s on top of me...” I meant to say “when he’s off to the side of me...” When you are performing this technique you DON’T want their weight directly on top of you, and you should be on your side/shoulder/hip, and never flat on your back. If you have it right, you should feel their trapped arm laying on top of your arm, and it should feel like they've dropped into a nice little groove.

Thank you…after the many darce instructions I have watched, you are the only one who was able to give a clear definition of the marce (lock side up) vs the darce (lock side down). Kudos again for the great instructional

Thanks so much! It's some self promotion here, but I'm dropping a 3 hour darce instructional in March (next month). I worked really hard on it for a couple of years, and I tried to do something different. Appreciate you for the feedback!

@@DrewDarce hi. Thanks for the heads up😊 where will the instructional be at? Will it still be UA-cam? Thanks again 🙏

Game changer! The analogy to body triangle is crystal clear. Gonna finally start having a real darce threat.

Hope it helps!!

Awesome man, I prefer the marce too. Love that sonic roll

[@choe429]

Great stuff 👍

[@aarondragushan813]

Nice. Also seems like if you initiate the roll, you also avoid the situation where you spike your head/neck on the mat as they try to get out.

[@DrewDarce]

That’s a good point too! Yeah, sometimes if you let them throw their back flat you can get faceplanted.
