Front Headlock to Vice Grip: Darce, Japanese Necktie, and More

The front headlock is one of the most reliable positions in no-gi grappling, but I've seen a lot of people get there and get lost if they can't find the guillotine. This video covers how to transition into the vice grip and use it to break your opponent down to their side, which opens up a whole chain of attacks.

We start with the d'arce choke as the primary finish, then cover the Japanese necktie for when you can't get your arm through deep enough to complete the d'arce. Finally, we look at how to hit the Japanese necktie when your opponent is still turtled and you can't break them down.

Three techniques from the vice grip, a position that is surprisingly under used.
