Stop the Wrestle-Up With This Rolling D’Arce Choke

Someone wrestling up on your leg? Turn their attack into a rolling D’Arce choke. Viet Ta of Cloud Nine MMA shows how to use the frame, apply pressure, thread the arm, and roll into position before your opponent can complete the wrestle-up. The key is what happens next: bait the turn so their own shoulder closes the space around their neck. Lock up the D’Arce, walk into the finish, and suddenly their wrestle-up has become your submission.

Save this one and try it in training.

How To Wrestle Up to a Single Leg

The wrestle-up is a great way to turn a seated position into an opportunity to get on top.

In this Jiu Jitsu technique breakdown, Coach Viet Ta demonstrates how to wrestle up from a seated position and attack a single leg against a standing opponent. He shows how to create a reaction by attacking one leg, transition to the opposite leg, and use forward pressure to shift your opponent’s weight onto their back leg. That weight transfer can make it easier to come up, secure the single leg, and continue into the takedown.

It’s a useful option when you don’t want to stay on your back and play guard. Use your opponent's reaction to come up and start attacking.

A well-executed Low Ouchi Gari is a high-percentage takedown that works especially well when your opponent resists your single-leg attack. In this lesson, Coach Viet Ta demonstrates how to use proper timing, footwork, and your opponent's reaction to execute an effective Low Ouchi Gari with control.

You'll learn how to transition from a single-leg attempt, recognize your opponent's resistance, create the reaction you want, skip your outside leg into position, drop your level, and rotate correctly to finish the takedown. Coach Viet Ta also explains key details that make the technique more efficient while helping you avoid common mistakes. Whether you train Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, wrestling, or MMA, this is a valuable takedown to add to your standing game.
