Jiu Jitsu vs Wrestling - Understanding Turtle Position by Gordon Ryan

[@ArminEghdamiDrums]

If one day I meet bernardo it will be a huuuuuuge honar foa me!

[@babb4214]

foa buff you guys

[@nasgaf]

So sayeth the Brazilian kermit

[@kenwu7]

There's literally a video out on it now why he says it 🤭🤭😂

[@matthewcain2880]

Honor, for **

[@timothyelhajj8404]

I pulled over in a parking lot to watch this! I understand everything that was said by both. Gordon’s a technician and Bernardo’s a conduit for all this knowledge to us mortal’s, pay some respect to both these guys!

[@southpoundham]

This is true I was in the same parking lot with you three years ago.

[@Exploremorefishing]

I'm glad to see Bernardos shoulder roll is just as good as mine 👍🏻😆

[@harrykimura]

😂

[@williambolton3440]

I was thinking the same...lol

[@jonathanwilliams1746]

Yeah wrong shoulder

[@djamilchan892]

Beautiful jiujitsu

[@MinhaFamiliaAQBJJ]

Wow. The scissoring part is a badass breakdown

[@kenwu7]

i feel like Danaher would have brought in an actual hook and described in elaborate and illustrative detail the mechanics of how boats and ships are tied down using an anchor or hook and from that pulling and controlling mechanism we would learn to insert our hooks with pin point accuracy and effectiveness and gain almost devastating control over our opponent. ...I would have enjoyed that. 😞

[@carguy3460]

Haha, that's exactly what didn't happen. This was more like Steve Carell reading a cereal box.

[@SadaParkour]

I knew profesor X and John Danaher were friends !

[@MrMoose233]

the question and answer from 9:20 about how to attack turtle against a bigger opponent was really useful. Thanks!

[@brandonmcninja]

Looking forward to some more potential instructionals from Gordon, great job.

[@justinpodur]

This is such a systematic way of thinking through problems. Organizing what could be an absolutely overwhelming amount of knowledge.

[@weisey100]

Gordon gives you so much information and detail at once, it's hard to follow sometimes but also very valuable. Just need to watch it multiple times.

[@Goval400]

I didn’t understand anything bernardo said but i liked this video

[@MrRitmu]

I did understand everything Bernardo said and i liked this video.

[@richardpanini971]

Geo he just speaks in run on sentences

[@tapskill3]

Gordon’s teaching on the turtle BJJ Vs Wrestling goals are spot on. He’s successful in an excellent bled or Wrest- jujitsu. This new wave jujitsu.

[@MetaleiroBarizon]

Jiu not ju

[@harderheart]

Bernardo is a beast himself and a world class champion but he still genuinely listens to what Gordon says... Ture Champion and a great athlete 👌

[@unclewangg]

Gordon is gonna be just as good a professor as John when he decides to open a school...didn’t stutter at all in his instruction

[@wyattsullivan2714]

It would be great to see more bjj vs wrestling content like this. I just started bjj from a wrestling background and have been looking for exactly this type of content

[@Allanrpsx]

I wanna see him work that on Telles' turtle. 🐢 👑

[@amiralkook1]

Hi Bernardo and Gordon. Thanks for this video. 2 great champs. Gordon talks very academic and Cartesian just like J Danaher.

[@kingadello]

Only a few minutes in and this video cleared up a lot of confusions i had because the last time i drilled this my opponent was a wrestler and he kept trying to stand up.

[@stevenblood8257]

the switch is a great move to throw from turtle best not to finish behind but go halfway try to catch the leg and hoog the leg as he try's to jump over

[@maimonshlomyify]

great fighter & great instructor gordon understand what he is doing

[@patphilloccap]

[@anoktokbatosai8113]

😆 I think he meant the other “near” shoulder Bernardo. Gordon was just like “good” 🤔

[@pugnatumterram7452]

Near shoulder B. Not the far shoulder 🤣

[@rahulRRR19]

😂😂😂

[@fightfiles]

Was gonna say that, but figured it was already pointed out in the comments.

[@golddee2040]

Gordon says to roll over his near shoulder. Bernardo rolled over his far shoulder hahahahahaha. A huge honor for me.

[@betovargas2098]

3:20 wrong shoulder Bernardo 😅

[@Nweran]

go give Bernardo Faria BJJ classes .... seems like you are a more decorated grappler?

[@betovargas2098]

Nweran Jaber yes, thanks for the compliment. First lesson will be which shoulder to roll on when facing your opponent from turtle lol

Was just thinking that. If he can just mature a little on social media, he's may just be the GOAT

[@paolobighignoli3128]

dyonesios sorry but why social media has to do with his ability in JJ? He could be the biggest douchebag on instagram but who cares? It has nothing to do with his BJJ skill. Its like judging a car speed by its color.

[@ars_gravitatis5858]

Ok, just a blue belt commenting here, but it seems a bit odd to me that the THIRD alternative is not addressed, i.e. the wide knee-base turtle with elbows on the inside. That is the strongest turtle position obviously since it combines the strong features of both the positions discussed here. Why is this not an option here?

[@vw5233]

6:19 great technique to insert hook

[@SuperBilroi]

What, you can you pull them over? But it's so obvious. Last time I rolled I didn't have anyone in turtle to try this but I did try and bait someone into doing it but, much like me, they were just focused on getting hooks in rather than just yanking me over. Madness.

[@SundarBJJ]

(1) "If he shoulder rolls over near shoulder for example..." (2)

[@dominathor]

Gordon sounds exactly like the no.1 nerd in the class who is always first to shout out the answer and repeat exactly what the teacher taught. :)

[@kaiceecrane3884]

Just from a wrestling point of view that isn't how we would turtle. While we are looking to stand up while in bottom position, that isn't how we would go about it and our body is kore protected than that. You can still hit an explosive stand up while fighting that hands, which is what we do, to address a person trying to choke. The arm draping over the shoulder also works nicely to chain into different escapes. Without a leg ride the arm over the shoulder looking for a choke isn't going to stop an escape. Looking to break someone down first and get your hooks in would be a better option to get to a rnc rather. To break someone down, though, is a skill more developed in wrestling which one would need to develop further to aid in maintaining the back

[@gordonryan3494]

i train this situation with Olympians and always take their backs..

[@martinmyggestik292]

Nice video as always. But that is not what a closed turtle looks like. Don't take my word for it. Ask Priit Mihkelson.

[@peekaboojujitsoo525]

Speak on my fellow Priit disciple

[@putpixel4804]

Priit "closed" turtle is susceptible to offbalancing because it is narrow and yes opening the knees to wide the base may lead to hook insertion plus it is passive. If you wanna stay for 10 min and loose by advantage or ref decision then yeah it is good turtle. For example judo guys like to lay face down and pull their gi over their head😂

[@peekaboojujitsoo525]

@@putpixel4804 judging by your comment you havent fully researched Priit's work. He doesnt recommend staying in turtle and the way he turtles its very very hard to get hooks in and/or off-balance. And besides his defensive turtle he does something he calls active turtle which i have not seen anybody else do or teach.

[@putpixel4804]

@@peekaboojujitsoo525 Naah i dont wanna write a long answer poem. Point is "priit stuff" is legit if you want to see where it came from check saulo ribeiro 2nd revolution dvd number 5 (i believe) called running escape, eduardo telles old dvd set turtle & octopus guard (at groundfighter.com) marco barbosa master of jiu jitsu (but only available at japanese & portugese language).

Hi Bernardo

[@rollinOnCode]

.... the turtle being shown- so called "open and closed" are extremely wrong. you have no balance and you give up underhook way too easily and you are vulnerable to pretty much every attack. i absolutely hate seeing such bad turtles in bjj. telles or even priit mihkelson have excellent explanation of turtle and how to play it especially for beginners and such
