The norm is everyone wants to dominate, smash and submit and win right. But when you have people doing things differently like this people start to get irritated or frustrated because they never think the unexpected. This defensive bjj style indeed works, it’s not perfect but it works. You’re shutting down a lot of attempts like attacks, passes ect. It’s a game of ultimate patience and timing. Instead of falling into the opponent’s game you easily make them fall into your game. Now obviously in competition it’s different and it requires a lot of game planning and training and time to test it in the competition scene vs in class training and rolling. But I love this style of BJJ because if you can’t beat em, make em work for it😆. Why rush for things when you can make the rush come to you with ease. It’s a psychological game and it works.

[@Grapplinginstructionals]

That’s awesome, I totally agree with you. You’ve really hit the nail on the head. And it’s exciting to see that this technique is constantly evolving. Not sure if you’ve heard, but Turtle 2.0 was recently released. The creator, known for submitting numerous opponents, has shifted to a much more aggressive, offensive stance. He’s utilizing the Turtle position to seamlessly transition into double legs, almost like a wrestler. It’s fascinating and definitely amps up the excitement. This isn’t the passive approach of the original Turtle; it’s an offensive Turtle game. If you’re curious, you should definitely check it out on grapplinginstructionals.com. It’s a fresh take on the Turtle strategy. Much more offensive

[@Mark-gi4tp]

I'm rather tall, and rarely attack the back when facing a turtle opponent because i slide over the top easily. I usually align directly behind them and wedge my feet in-between their feet, and spread their legs like a chicken wing. They will ALWAYS choose to collapse to a side and i can take top side control or top half and pass from there. Anyone know of any counters to this? or how to stop it? It's been super effective for me and as someone who likes to turtle out of passes, my team mates are aware of this tactic and starting to use it against me as well.

Got a question - this is very interesting to me because I love techniques that most people are not experienced with. Taking a person to a place where you are very experienced , and they are not , is an great strategy . So I want to get good at Pritt’s techniques. My only issue is that I am not nearly as flexible as you, and not good at inverting. My question is - how much flexibility does your transition from turtle to Leglocks take? Is it more of just a forward roll? Or does it take a lot of flexibility ? I am willing to stretch and get more flexible, but that will take several months, and I want to start working on these techniques now. Also, can you show me a link to your instructional ?

[@Grapplinginstructionals]

[@Grapplinginstructionals]

Thank you for your question. Hard to say about flexibility. As we stretch and work on our flexibility we ultimately get to where we wanna come. I think angles often play a great part in the success of any technique which is something that is talked about a lot in the instructional. We have more coming out from Raoul very soon.

because people cant wrestle these days. turtle is so simple to breakdown, they arent using head pressure to assist in seperating arms, or hunting unorthodox submissions from here, D'arce all day and when that fails chase the back, then transition to brutish wrestling top open a gap and then back to technical sub attacks. these guys want to win a positional battle when he has already given up such a vulnerable position. They should just hunt sepration of limbs and the neck, and when those fail, backout reset and apply good pressure to wear him down. neat system but definitely not effective at a high level.

i played lots of turtle in the 2000's n won some important purple belt matches with it - its much stronger offensively in the gi, the outside pants grip and sleeves allow for much easier jump over sweeps - see telles vs jacare gi match Copa do Mundo de Jiu-Jitsu 2005 ,,,, i now only go to turtle to avoid the pass vs pulling it. too many people @ blackbelt will just do basically nothing n rack up advantages if they really respect your turtle (usually in the tournament people will see your game and gain respect at that level) and if you catch a reversal its not points. i just go to open guards then if they pass i never ever have to be 3 points down in side control -- oh small note: turtleing off a pass often leads to your defensive structure having weaknesses as you turtle. the opponent will be trying to stop you. which leads to a slower less organized shape as you turn over possibly allowing a hook or bad grip (to me its not scary for guys like us but its definitely not optimal)

Regarding the “bad gameplan” comment: Getting mounted is also a “bad gameplan”. Regardless .... sometimes it happens. Therefore people train mount defense/escapes. See the logic: Everybody trains offence…. then tries to pull that offence off in competition. Somehow that is ok. I train a lot of defence (ie: turtle) and wanted prove that I could pull it off in competition. The only course of action that I had was to pull turtle in comp, to prove that I can indeed pull it off.

Wouldn't work in tha cage

[@jetseks6531]

I would work in a cage because of a donkey punch from a turtle 🐢. Snap!!!

[@Grapplinginstructionals]

Not if you stay in turtle, but as a transition to get them legz he’ll yeah!

[@SunsetWingman]

Eh, probably not good to make your primary game or you’ll just be getting beat in the head in a fight

[@Grapplinginstructionals]

This was just a test. The turtle is a transitional position and an effective option that very few people know how to deal with.

Eduardo Telles spoiled jiu jitsu.

I'm sure the guy grappling knows other techniques, But the only reason ridiculous moves like this exist is because all the rules they have in IBJFF. A lot of the really good techniques got lost that would have ended this quickly. Good thing for John Danaher and guys like Gordon Ryan bringing back The old school techniques that work. kzbin.info/www/bejne/paHSgX9mi7p1jLM kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKGpfKN6ndxoerc
