Gi All Levels

Welcome to week #15. This week in Gi All Levels our focus is on the Back Control, but more specifically the Turtle position. First, we will go over the Transition from Turtle to Back Control taking us from a decent position from a control perspective to arguably the most dominant and secure position in Jiu Jitsu. Then we will be focusing on Escaping from Turtle, starting off with the Turtle Escape - Knee Grip and finishing off strong with the Turtle Escape - Outside Arm. That transition and both Escapes will surely take your Jiu Jitsu to the next level.
