Darce After Sprawl

Executing a D'Arce choke after sprawling on a double leg takedown:

1. When your opponent attempts a double leg takedown, sprawl effectively to force them into the turtle position.
2. Instead of diving under and risking a reversal, opt for a headlock grip on the side you prefer for the D'Arce choke.
3. Clasp your hands together, with the choking arm threading through under their armpit to the opposite side, grabbing right above their elbow.
4. Use this grip to apply a choking pressure even as you roll, giving you an advantage when finishing the choke.
5. Roll underneath your opponent, using the grip to guide you and beat them to the corner turn.
6. As you come on top, ensure your choking arm (the one that was clasped) goes through all the way to grab your own bicep.
7. Place your free hand on their shoulder, not too far, as you only need to close your elbow and squeeze to tighten the choke.
8. Finish the choke by squeezing your elbows together and applying pressure with your head on the mat if necessary.

This technique allows you to secure a D'Arce choke from a sprawl without giving up position, and the initial headlock grip can act as a choke during the roll, setting up a tight finish.
