Mastering the D’Arce Choke & Sales Strategy // Flexibility, Reps & Business Growth | Wes Schaeffer | The BJJ and Biz Podcast
Fri Sep 05 2025
No plan survives contact with the enemy...yet you still plan.
Today, a white belt wanted to review the D'arce and anaconda choke in our morning BJJ training.
We spent time getting precise on the D'arce, how to finish it, even on larger opponents, and a few ways to enter it/set it up from top or bottom.
Then I get into some sales and business advice.
Takeaways
— Mastering techniques like the Darce choke requires practice and adaptation.
— Having a plan is essential, but flexibility is key when things change.
— Continuous improvement is a journey that takes time and dedication.
— In both Jiu-Jitsu and business, understanding transitions is crucial.
— Building relationships and offering value can lead to success.
— It's important to focus on one thing until you master it.
— Everything is hard until you get thousands of reps in.
— Don't be afraid to ask for help or guidance in your journey.
— Learning from others' mistakes can save you time and effort.
— Clarifying your thoughts through writing can enhance your understanding.
Sound bites
— "Small hinges swing big doors."
— "Don't stay stuck on something."
— "Learn from my pain."
