Collar Tie – D’Arce Choke from Kote Gaeshi

Uke ties up behind Tori’s neck, establishing a collar tie. Tori raises the hand on the side of Uke’s collar tie, keeping his elbow low, and places his forearm against Uke’s elbow. He rolls his shoulder while executing an Enka pivot, allowing his hand to slip into position on Uke’s hand for Kote Gaeshi. He performs another Enka pivot to execute the Kote Gaeshi turn, throwing Uke to the ground. Uke falls, but due to the inertia of the movement and Tori not following the cut fully, Uke rolls through and comes up onto his knees. To prevent Uke from rising further, Tori sprawls, placing his chest onto Uke’s back. From there, Tori begins to slide off to the side, controlling Uke’s head with one hand while threading his other arm under Uke’s armpit and across the neck, then connecting his hands by gripping his own bicep. Tori steps his feet forward to disrupt Uke’s base and continues to walk and tighten the hold, completing the D’Arce Choke.
