    Decided to upload a little turtle theory. Works really well.

    Key point that wasn't mentioned in enough detail: DON'T EVER POST YOUR ELBOWS ON THE MAT DURING THE TRANSITION! That is the key point when transitioning.
    Elbows on the mat destroy everything.

    Good to see you're still on the forum and still training I like positions that are considered bad positions like the turtle. I've also been working your bottom side control attacks. I'm curious if you have anymore to add to that video you posted around a year ago.

    Thanks brother. I will be posting tons of video. I definitely plan a huge revisit of both top and bottom side control. Been a busy year, but I own the gym in the videos now, and plan on hopefully becoming a 10th planet. Gonna just unload every tool in my toolbox. Hopefully, some people find some use.

    I've been working on my turtle guard. Been watching eduardo telles. Do you plan on making more vids along the lines of that?

    Nice - I love sweeping people from Turtle! Got any attacks you can do from there?

    Great instructional video. I learned a lot of new things that were not available from other experts in this area. Do you have any other videos on the Turtle Guard?

    I have been rolling into the turtle a lot in comp and training recently when I feel my opponent isnt as technical. I love the sweeps from there, and a lot of people get too high, or leave a knee for an attack, maybe leave openings to granby out. I like the position a lot. And this will help me really tighten it up even more at a higher level. I was actually just asking a few questions on how to not leave openings for any armbar from there this week in class, and this was the most beneficial advice I have gotten by far. Thanks for the video!
