I've been watching front headlock and darce lessons since 2009, and this is seriously one of the best I've ever seen (paid or free). I'm incredibly impressed at the 'best practices' shown here, and the quality is amazing. Instant liked and subscribe! Great, great work on this channel, and I can't wait to watch it grow. I'm sure big things are ahead =)

[blackkats]

One of the only people I see in the space putting genuine effort into production, with such in depth instruction I can see you guys being very successful. Keep up the good work!

[jonathancaverly]

The quality is better than any paid instructionals I've watched, awesome work! 🤙

I've had so many instructors teach the D'arce in it's most rudimentary form and many even tell us "half of your D'arces will probably crank" without ever actually going into why or how to fix it. This video answers so many questions. I didn't even know that it's my forearm that's supposed to go across the front of their neck and that tripod twisting motion is going to be a game changer for me.

I'm a judo black belt who's getting old and so increasingly spend my time coaching newaza. I really enjoy the precision of BJJ and particularly your videos. We don't get anywhere near the amount of time for set ups in judo as you do in BJJ and so a lot of people think that BJJ isn't useful, but this is plain wrong and I manage to hit strangles and armlocks in transition from standing to ground simply because most judo players are not expecting fluidity. The content and construction of your videos is really excellent. Many thanks for this superb resource!

[jakeschemmer]

Ive watched a million jiu jitsu channels on youtube. This guy has some of the best content. Not just the techniques, but the live roll commentaries, slow mo. The camera work is really great and takes work. Come back in a year and see how much this guy will blow up.

[FromJaka]

I've watched this video at least 10 times, it's so thorough and I haven't seen the head tripod with the twist to choke tech before. I've taken a couple of screen recordings so I can quickly refresh myself on this method in open mat 😇 thanks again Jordan and Nikki! 👊🏻

[shoot]

I've been binge watching all of your vids. Really appreciate the high quality editing to match the high-level instruction. Looking forward to more content and seeing your channel grow!

[KileTaer]

I keep hoping for the rolling back take video! This one was so informative though, that I'm not even disappointed. 👊

[abrahamhan]

These are some high quality, easy to follow, instructional videos! Keep up the amazing work!

[rolotomase]

I have great teachers at my academy but I am coming to your channel more and more to reinforce what I'm learning each night in class. I have been a blue belt for a few months and have been looking to add more attacks. This video was a little fast for me so I'll have to come back to it a few times. Thank you again for another awesome video.

[bobl]

This would be a good topic for in class portion as well to make sure we place or arms in the best way. Great video!

[VamboraSingapore]

Gotta give props to the entire team for these vids.

Excellent instructions from Jordan

Nicky is an excellent uke for tutorials and simulation resistance

And of course, the camera person and editor

[bobl]

I watched this video again and damn its solid work! Great slow motion and just amazingly described overall!! 👌👌

[WibblyWobblyWoo]

Love that half guard attack. Very good content again from this channel

[TrevorClarke-ctxg]

I’m 4 months into bjj, been watching videos nonstop. This is the best, most intuitive video I’ve seen so far. Thank you

[BetjentBastian]

I literally watch this every day on order to improve my d'arce choke. Thanks a lot :)

[lee]

Might be my fav video. Most of my submissions to date come from this

[RippedPantsss]

Jordan is the best online teacher and points out so much!

[mikeg]

Absolutely love that side control entry. I use that with a reverse arm triangle into darce all the time. Great tips on twisting the head by tripoding!
