I don't see the sit out. It looks more like a back step to me. 🤔

Thank you

Really great explanation and demonstration here!

Very interesting, does it still work if you’re not on your knees? What if you were lying on your side? Thanks!

Two things: first, a simple low level defense to the D’Arce is to turn to your belly. This relieves the pressure a little bit. From there you could come up to your knees and then use that escape. Secondly, if you are sufficiently squirmy you might be able to turn out the same way from your side. Give it a try

@@StephanKesting thanks for taking the time to reply, will definitely try it out.

Why do you have to ruin 50% of my game? 😂

To give you the opportunity to get better at it! Every technique has a counter, every counter has recounters, so find those recounters!!!
