![]() ![]() Of course, all submissions are harder against bigger, stronger people so bare this in mind. The second issue is often breaking the posture, especially against significantly larger opposition. With this in mind, it’s very important to remove the arm before doing the roll. Without the base, the opponent will fall and roll, but if they manage to keep their arm on the ground, it becomes significantly harder and more likely to fail. As mentioned, this is important as it acts as a base. The first reason is not controlling the arm. There are generally a few reasons for this. Obviously, if you do this badly then you will just roll under the opponent and end up in a bad position. One of the main issues when setting up the Anaconda can be rolling under the opponent and getting them to follow you. Problems when attempting the Anaconda roll At the same time it is equally important to make sure your arm grips are tight to avoid the head escaping, without blowing your energy on a squeeze at the same time. Remember to get your chest pushing into the head of the opponent whilst trying to entangle the legs. Once done, you are now in the finishing position. This time you don’t need to do a gator roll, instead you just need to fall into the position after securing the headlock. With this said, it could be argued the Anaconda is a tighter finish compared to the darce.įrom the top half guard, the finish is the same. Imagine a trash compactor getting tighter and tighter – that is how the Anaconda is finished. This puts immense pressure on the choke due to the pressure put on the neck of the opponent. Instead, you should be bringing your knees inwards and your chest downards. Remember, you shouldn’t be squeezing your arms with all your might. Although this isn’t essential, it helps keep contact and engage with the choke more. Simultaneously, you should try and entangle your legs together to stop them from running away. This is because you should crush their head downwards with your stomach which adds further pressure to the choke. At this point, you should snake upwards a little to put their head below yours and in line with your stomach. Here, you should end facing your opponent with both you and them on your sides. Remember to keep the arm grip tight to take them with you. When the arm is pulled in, you then want to tuck your head under the opponent and roll to this side. So basically, you should have a grip around their arm which connects to your head the goal is to bring this arm inwards to take away any base that the arm offered. From here, you then want to do a gator roll to the side of their arm. With the darce, the idea is to put the opponent on their side which is the same as the Anaconda, but getting there and finishing is quite different.įrom the turtle, you have to stay heavy on the head of the opponent to keep their posture down. Unlike the darce, the Anaconda’s finishing mechanics are quite different. At this point, you have now entered the Anaconda and can now start thinking of ways to submit the opponent. As you fall, the idea is to once again thread your arm under their neck and armpit to connect with your other arm.Īt this point, you will once again have a position similar to a darce choke where their shoulder is trapped, pushing into their carotid artery, whilst your forearm cuts off the blood from their other carotid artery. If you try a guillotine from here, sometimes they can come up and sweep you. With the chinstrap headlock, you can then fall to the side so you’re facing the opponent. ![]() The good thing with the Anaconda is that you just need to get a chinstrap from here and then you can attack. Whilst this is doable, sometimes it’s more of a crank as you can’t get under their neck fully. Imagine being in top half guard and diving in for a guillotine. However, due to being slightly different, the Anaconda starts with a headlock. Again, this has similarities with the darce as it is also entered from here when the opponent has the underhook on you from the bottom. The next entry we shall focus on is from the top half guard position. ![]() However, for now it’s important to remember to get a headlock from the turtle and thread your arm under the neck through to the armpit, then reach your bicep with this arm to make a rear naked grip. Because of this, you will need to finish the Anaconda very differently which we shall go into detail with later. However, it finishes differently due to the inverse grip. The choke is roughly the same as it acts like an arm triangle. Some people mistakenly think the two are the same and although they’re similar, there’s a big difference. The Anaconda is different due to starting at the neck and ending under the armpit. When attacking the darce, you have the same rear naked grip but it starts from going under the armpit of the opponent, through to their neck.
