DARCES FROM EVERYWHERE KADE AND TYE RUOTOLO DVD HERE:
The Darce choke is something you have either tapped to or used to tap people out. In other words, you know what the move is. The one thing you might not understand about it is how versatile this submission is, offering a lot more than just a way to strangle people effectively.
The Darces From Everywhere Kade and Tye Ruotolo DVD can help shed some light in that regard. At present, the two are the undisputed Darce kings, having taken the heads off many of the top grapplers in the sport using the move. This instructional will let you see why the Darce is such a strong move for Kade and Tye. Enjoy the review!
His Majesty the Darce Choke
If you’ve read any of the articles on BJJ World, you know that I am highly biased towards the Darc choke. My saving grace against the underhook half guard since my early blue belt days, the choke has proven to be a powerful tool in my box of tricks.
In fact, I had so much success with the Darce over the years, that I rarely use it anymore. I know that doesn’t make much sense, but the choke is so powerful once you get the hang of it, that it kinda starts to feel as if you’re cheating when you hit it against people. It is that powerful and versatile to set up.
I still do it, but if we ever roll and I get you in a Darce, it means you made me use my best weapon, and you’re a force to be reckoned with. For anyone out there not having the option of Darcing, I urge you (of course I do) to give it a try. Short or long arms, it doesn’t matter, it will work for you, just as it does for the Ruotolos.
Speaking of the Ruotolos, their Darces From Everywhere Kade and Tye Ruotolo DVD is probably one of the best resources to use as a shortcut when learning how to apply the choke.
A Ruotolo Brothers Special
What do you think about when you hear the Rutolo brothers mentioned? Personally, I think crazy movement all over and Darces. Lots and lots of Darces and other arm triangles. Even the buggy choke – it is, effectively, an arm triangle.
The brothers Kade and Tye have so far shown everyone in the BJJ world what it means to come through the kids’ belt system all the way to the black belt. In their case, it was age 18 when they went black, and they’re only going forward from there.
between them, Tye and Kade Rutolo have won just about everything there is, from IBJJF, through ADCC to the $1 million prize at the inaugural CJI. I expect they’ll get even more wars in the upcoming months, with everyone now gunning for them, as they are the grapplers to beat, after Gordon.
The brothers also seem to have a knack for teaching. I guess we can expect that from all the new generations of grapplers who come through the complete belt system. unsurprisingly, the brothers break down one of their specials in the Darces From Everywhere Kade and Tye Ruotolo DVD.
Darces From Everywhere by Kade and Tye Ruotolo DVD Review
This incredible Darces From Everywhere Kade and Tye Ruotolo DVD is a short instructional. Given the subject they are covering, it makes sense – there’s no need to overcomplicate a simple, yet extremely versatile tool as the Darce.
In about an hour Kade and Tye share how they set up the Darce when hunting for submissions, but also how they use it to get out of tight spots and to create more opportunities to establish pins or turn the tables. Our detailed Ruotolo Darce DVD review below will tell you everything that you need to know:
Part 1 – Top Position Darces
The first part of the Darces From Everywhere Kade and Tye Ruotolo DVD is delivered by Kade or Tye, no one can really tell. They start by delivering a short introduction, followed by an immediate show stopper – the diving Darce choke setup. It is a variation of Jeff Glover’s Marce (or was it Shlarce), simplified and made tighter and more powerful.
A couple more options appear, with the finishing mechanics wove into the setups, rather than shown in different chapters. while I’m not sure how I feel about it, the two setups that round off this part, especially the one used as a single-leg counter are fire, just like everything else Rultoolo bros related.
Part 2 – Bottom Darces and Darce Counters
The second volume in this two-part Darces From Everywhere Kade and Tye Ruotolo DVD delivers more Dare choke entries and finishing variations, this time focusing on bottom setups and countering.
The butterfly guard is the Ruotolos’ go-to Darce launchpad, with the arm drag providing the perfect entry. Since any underhook your opponent takes is a Darce opportunity, the Rutolos demonstrate how to turn double underhooks into a choke easily and against anyone.
Ending with a bang, the always elusive Darce setup against back control features in this Darces Kade and Tye Ruotolo DVD, finally kind of makes sense as a setup. It still won’t work for everyone, but if you can pull it off it is wild!
One Move BJJ Game Plans
Making a game plan where the Darce choke is your main move is more than just possible – it is smart. However, you can’t just do the same with any move in BJJ. The one thing to always remember when trying to use a one-move-based game is whether that move works from different positions.
For example, basing your game on the Rear Naked Choke will never offer the same versatility as using a guillotine, Kimura, or the Darce for the same purpose. Some moves work extremely well from entering positions (armbars, RNC, kneebars) but don’t allow you to transition through BJJ positions while holding on to them.
If a move can’t work from both the top and bottom, then it is probably not worth being your centerpiece. While you can specialize in anything, figuring out how to use submission moves as trap systems are going to turn you into a much more versatile and unpredictable threat.
The way the Ruotolo brothers organized their Darces From Everywhere Kade and Tye Ruotolo DVD reflects such an approach THey offer not just top position setups, but also bottom entries and counterattacking applications of the choke.
