Executing a Darce choke from the turtle position when the opponent has a strong base and is resisting the palm-to-palm grip:

  1. Start with a palm-to-palm grip while the opponent is in the turtle position.
  2. If the opponent is strong and bases out, preventing the roll to side control, prepare to transition to a Darce choke.
  3. Unhook the opponent's leg with your own leg to set up the move.
  4. Simultaneously kick through with your leg and perform an uppercut motion with your arm to initiate the Darce choke.
  5. Ensure that the movement is quick and fluid, as it differs from the slower techniques practiced earlier.
  6. As you sit out and uppercut your arm through, aim to thread it deep enough to reach your bicep on the other side.
  7. Squeeze your bicep and press your ear close to the opponent's body to secure the position.
  8. Without clasping your hands, quickly secure your bicep and prepare to finish the choke.
  9. Prevent the opponent from posturing up by maintaining tight pressure with your bicep and ear.
  10. Once in position, grab your own bicep, place your other hand on the opponent's shoulder, and start walking to adjust the angle.
  11. Continue squeezing to tighten the choke and secure the submission.
