Escapes From Turtle

 

Grapplers of all levels find themselves in the bottom Turtle position from time to time. As a primary position in BJJ, we need to have a solid plan of escape when our opponent starts securing a Front Headlock. Mike Palladino goes over two effective escapes from Turtle; the Arm Reversal (Spin Through or Ude Gaeshi) and the Sit Through. These escapes allow grapplers to use technique over brute strength, making them a great addition to your toolbox. Take a look and give them a try!
