Howdy Set Up to D'Arce

Here is a fun follow-up move using two of my favorite submissions. Using the step over to set up the "Howdy", followed up by the D'Arce. Thanks to Lockflow member "Bawajiwe" for letting me crank on him.

Here's the video, check out the step by step below the vid!

• Step 1

Here, I have the Judo position on Eddie
• Step 2

I put my right leg over Eddie's head - in a effort to bait him to push it off
• Step 3

Eddie falls for the bait and pushes my right leg off his head with his right hand
• Step 4

I take my right hand and reach over Eddie's right arm and under his head as I drop my upper body down to trap Eddie's arm
• Step 5

In order to avoid to "Howdy", Eddie shrimps to his left hip and begins to make space...
• Step 6

As I feel Eddie escaping the "Howdy", I grab the crown of Eddie's head with my right hand and pull his head in towards my chest
• Step 7

I quickly overhook Eddie's right arm with my left hand and reach under Eddie's neck
• Step 8

I now slide my right hand across the back of Eddie's head and lock my right bicep with my left hand as I grab Eddie's back with my right hand
• Step 9

Keep my arms locked tight, I switch to my right hip and throw my left leg over Eddie's right leg (or Back) and expand my chest, arch my hips, squeeze my arms and twist upwards to finish the choke.
