WATCH: Lightweight submission grappling king Kade Ruotolo shares how to set up sneaky D’Arce choke from bottom side control

Being stuck on the bottom side control is one of the most unfavorable positions in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, as it forces most grapplers to be on the defensive.

Then again, the marvelous Kade Ruotolo has found a way to remain a threat while in this disadvantageous predicament, courtesy of his signature submission hold.

At this point, the D'Arce choke (no-gi brabo choke) is pretty much synonymous with the reigning lightweight submission grappling kingpin and his brother and fellow ONE world champion Tye Ruotolo.

Traditional D'Arce chokes, of course, are most commonly set up when an opponent goes to the turtle position.

The creative Ruotolo, however, showed how to turn the tables by landing the blood choke while on his back.

As seen in the Instagram clip, the 22-year-old twins eloquently demonstrated the nifty move. Ruotolo began by establishing his frames.

After baiting the attacker to go for an arm-triangle choke, the Atos star used his opponent's momentum to spin and create space to cinch in the D'Arce.

Obviously, Ruotolo's freakishly long arms help him to lock in the submission hold from a tough angle. Still, the youngest ADCC world champion's technical brilliance and incredible IQ allow him to pull off such an intricate technique.
