Defending against a single leg takedown and transitioning to a Darce choke:
- When your opponent shoots for a single leg takedown, immediately work to get a whizzer to create space.
- Focus on getting your leg to the floor to prevent your opponent from completing the takedown. Use the whizzer and push their head to help achieve this.
- Once your foot is on the floor, transition your whizzer hand through to the other side of your opponent's head to prepare for the Darce choke.
- Secure a palm-to-palm grip with your hands and use this leverage to crank your opponent's neck and sprawl back, forcing them to the floor.
- After bringing your opponent down, cover their leg with your own and hook it with your foot to control their movement.
- Post on your free leg to create the necessary angle, then thread your arm through to secure the Darce choke by grabbing your bicep and their shoulder.
- Drop your weight onto your opponent and finish the choke by squeezing and applying pressure.
This sequence allows you to counter a single leg takedown attempt by creating space, establishing control, and finishing with a Darce choke.
