Bread and butter turtle offense move: wrestling, judo, bjj

[Bubble Boy]

I use a variation of this move quite a bit. Anyone else do this nifty reversal? It works well with gi and without.

Eduardo Telles describes a similar move to this in his Turtle Guard instructional... although he tends to use it as a sub, blocking the opponents back to prevent them rolling over, the tap comes from the kimura-esque lock on the arm.

I've tried it in practice, and more often than not my blocking the back is unsuccessful and instead i execute the sweep in the way the video demonstrated.

I use that a lot.

Rolling on the shoulder is a neat variation. Makes it almost more of a submission. I will definitely play with that one in addition to my usual more sideways roll.

Awesome I actually learned this from a wrestler, but I overhook the arm first, tripod and the way he taught me was just to think to bring your ear to the mat

I'll have to try this little variation awesome post

use the first part of that tech, then reach around the legs to drive over like a double on the ground, i use the switch, and the stand up (not really offensive, but VERY high percentage for me).

Granby would work better, IMO. This is also from personal experience. Not only a Granby a Power Granby.

Bubble I use a variation also but I come all the way out and take the back usually, "Crab Out".
