Getting Out of Turtle Postion | Jiu-Jitsu Transitions

The turtle position is a common occurrence and a necessity at times. It provides a lot of defense, and it can save you in several instances during a match or even fight. Getting safely out of this position is imperative, so in this video, I outline some techniques and strategies for upgrading your position when coming out of the turtle. I hope you like it!

Best jiu jitsu education on KZbin

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I appreciate that greatly

[@Roll_Vids]

Great timing! I was catching my breath in turtle yesterday, and it occurred to me that I'd like more exit options. Thanks for addressing this 😁.

[@The_King_sent_me]

Hey Eli! I’m a brown belt instructor from Boston. I’m a huge fan of yours. I watched this video today to refresh before I taught a defending turtle guard class. The students loved your techniques! We had a blast! Thank you my brother! Keep up the great work!!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thanks Chris! I’ll be back in Boston around the end of September I believe, doing a seminar at Forged Krav Maga BJJ. Hopefully you guys are on good terms and it would be great to meet you if you can make it out! Thanks again!

[@The_King_sent_me]

@@KnightJiuJitsu that would be incredible to meet you bro! I’ve never heard of Forged, but I’m sure they’re great! My brother owns Boston Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu academy in Woburn. I’ll tell my teammates and see if I can get a crew together to visit Forged! Thanks for the invite! You’re also more than welcome to come hang out with us anytime!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

@@The_King_sent_me fantastic! I’ll shoot you some more info as soon as the details get nailed down.

[@The_King_sent_me]

@@KnightJiuJitsu that would be great! Thank you!

[@vahe.sargsyan]

Thank you so much for these. As a big guy Rolling with higher belts or faster guys I am usually in turtle position. I tried couple of these escapes yesterday and was able to easily get out.

[@kampar82]

We should have a poll on how many of the people ending up in the turtle feel heavy set. I'm not a big guy, only 106 kg, but the younger, more skilled, and more mobile people will get me here for some reason.

[@renehinojosa1962]

These escapes are all Catch wrestling based, nice to see BJJ guys adopted these moves.

[@nated2922]

Easily one of the best instructors in the game. Best school you can go to. If you can make it to Paducah KY, you need to go.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I really appreciate that man!

[@nated2922]

@@KnightJiuJitsu of course my dude

[@ravilangabriel6689]

Thanks. I keep getting myself into that position. This videos really help! Can't wait to drill them and apply them.

[@ivagal11]

The funny thing about these escapes is that I know them but have trouble executing them. I tend to turtle when I’m exhausted. 😞 thank you for the content.

[@usbsol]

Just turtle from the start of the round 🤙

[@WpnsCo2013OEF]

Steamroller from a tired turtle has been treating me well 😂 I'd rather be tired with kesa gatame than tired from bottom or turtle for extended periods.

[@KadirbekAli]

For children

[@chilledbrazilianrocker]

That was a seminar right there! Thank you! 🙌

[@r3dg471]

I’ve been looking for options here! Thank you!

[@lizzieliverpool]

I was in my nogi class last night and we were drilling an attack from turtle and I just found myself stuck in turtle 80% of the time during sparring. I’m a white belt so I expect to be stuck in these positions a lot anyway but I just found myself wishing I knew a sweep or reversal to help. I’ve come on KZbin to figure it out and your video will definitely help me a lot. I’m going back tonight so I’m gona see if I can get myself in turtle to drill these escapes etc during some sparring!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I hope these help!

[@askBOSCO]

Thank you! Crystal clear and straight forward techniques. OSS

[@1brunobraga]

Thanks a lot! I was really looking to increase my options when in turtle

[@djchile1]

The last technic was fuego I will be trying that escape 👊🏽🔥💯🥋

[@Fujaskanerv]

Love this guide

[@realninjutsurodriguez660]

Those were excellent professor, Ty so much for your help 👍🤘🏼

[@salientrogue3117]

Love this video thanks for posting

[@lucatraverso6891]

Great video..... Bravo as always 👍👏

[@MisterPeanutButter1]

Another great video! I just asked a question today in class about a turtle escape. I usually roll away and recover closed guard, but coach always stuffs that. Today I asked why I couldn't roll from him, and he had a body-lock from the rear-quadrant (arms around my torso). He said in that situation, I should stand up, and then the defense is as-if he tried to take my back while standing.

[@Alinesorre]

Best channel to learning more about juijitsu. I’ve been practice this tips , really helps!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I really appreciate that!

[@abdelhamid6674]

Nice one as usual ! ,👍💪. Thank you

[@moh23ce]

Thanks men for your time.

[@gutse007]

Awesome like usually!!!

[@hedgehogbjj]

I never knew I needed something so much without knowing it existed until I saw this exit!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s a great feeling when that happens!

[@timothylee5824]

Thank you for the content!

[@mrsbootsworkouts]

Awesome instructions, thank you!

[@jcerby03]

Great content on this video. Thanks

[@liitswqvsl9879]

Thanks for the useful tips. I love ur vids and may God bless you.

[@design4builders]

Great stuff as usual ✨👊✨

[@mturnbull42]

This was really helpful! I mean, I've never successfully pulled any of these off in a live roll (there's no way the folks I train with would let me peek my head out or clean Granby like that), but at least now I've had something to try instead of waiting for the attack.

[@cholero1019]

I use the first one all the time.. it works relatively well. id say about a 20-30% success rate depending on who you're rolling with which is pretty good in my book

[@pledgefitness5520]

Great options

[@eli.h]

Great video!

[@charleshammond3196]

I reeeeeeally needed this video. Now to practice and execute! Thanks Eli!

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Glad it helped!

[@achunable]

This is real sorcery to me as a white belt. Thankyou master knight!

[@subasiano]

Thanks coach, excellent

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

Thank you. I really appreciate it.

[@nicocontreras5366]

Great video for judokas transitioning to BJJ, sadly it´s too late and have to go to bed but tomorrow I´ll check this with more attention.

[@furyano1251]

So this can work for no gi as well. Awesome

[@h.mgallows4461]

Yes, because it's just basic wrestling.

[@glueburnsmith8778]

Thanks man, always ending up in turtle 🐢

[@Brandon-ob9rg]

This is all magic

[@leeeric1759]

always get in trouble in this position 😂

[@usbsol]

Don't get out... Stay and listen to some Deep Turtle 💪🐢

[@eyeswideopenareyours6952]

Thank you. I'm learning here cause I can't roll..teaching my son.

[@thebizness5596]

3 weeks in and I’ve been doing well with your videos. Rolled with a more experienced dude, almost survive and I thought I’d turtle for safety but he took my back anyway and I didn’t block the sides and got choked. Now I’m here thinking how do I stop that from happening again.

[@golddee2040]

I think Alex's beard was looking at you contemptuously. It clearly felt none of those moves besides the first would work on it.

[@cedward85]

Excellent video! Thanks for helping us white belts not get destroyed

[@nguyenhoangthai7652]

Can you make a video of how to escape when the opponent is hugging you TIGHTTTTT when you are at bottom position of full mount, and sometimes they lock their feet together? I would be really appreciate it, that "submission/control" is really annoying. Edit: I forgot that their entire upper body is make contact with yours and thy are also hiding their head

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I’ll work that into the next escapes video I do. I have a couple videos on mount escapes though if you’d like to check them out on my channel.

[@lyrasunshard3769]

Woah

[@natebennett4784]

What is the meaning behind the blue bar on the black belt? I have never seen this before.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

I’m a black belt under Royce Gracie. He uses the blue bar instead of red for his black belts.

[@DJBiermann]

Are you supposed to kick the leg out that far on the peek out?

[@brucefraser4058]

The turtle defense was adapted from Judo by professor osvaldo alves......but since then it was never really ever studied for what it was originally invented as....a defensive positioning.

[@kata-gatame3126]

Wrestling technique

[@urjeshutthasani3714]

Teach us bow and arrow escape

[@dumspirospero8201]

👍👍👏✌

That one is from Da Firma Kimono Company. Great gis.

Can you please for the love of god make a video on how to not crush your nuts when doing armbars? From guard and top

🖒👍👌✊

For Al G. Rhythm

[@Pinpadprompts]

But i dont want to get out of Turtle. Im tired.

[@KnightJiuJitsu]

That’s fair

[@h.mgallows4461]

This is just basic High school Wrestling. How many wrestling techniques can bjj use and still call it jujitsu??

[@landrytucker1108]

It’s because turtle is basically referees position

[@thomasjohn4814]

Is it me or are none of these actually practical

[@MrOj59]

Fake tap then as he lets go flip over
