Priit breaks everything down effectively and effortlessly.
Great insight
Useful stuff. Even implementing some of the basics of what Priit shows, like correct head position and staying on live toes, has made my turtle much tougher for my rolling partners to try to break down.
The escapes with creating distance and pulling guard from the turtle with a granby is something I added to my game right away
This is a great comprehensive look at turtle. Keep those pesky upper belts from submitting you and throw them for a loop. This is a great and well laid out watch. Easy to follow and implement to up your game immediately.
Really enjoyed this one from a defensive perspective. Priit gives you a basic posture, reinforces it through a bunch of different scenarios, and then adds a few tricks here and there. As someone who loves to take a posture or concept and just work it out on my own, this was a great, simplistic view of his turtle formula. One thing I'm not sure about is that "offense" is in the title, but everything shown was reactive, and almost entirely defensive.
Premier système de défense en judo. Fantastiques améliorations qui ferment les failles de cette défense. Premier élément d'un système de défense à compléter avec running man et baby bridge pour un judoka. Ces positions sont des lieux où il est possible de se reposer et de respirer en toute sécurité avant de contre attaquer.

Good intro to turtle defence including turtle posture with elbows in, neck shoulders shrugged “neck less neck” or “invisible neck”, seal feet vs feet on the mat, good base with knees, dealing with hooks, beating the harness/seatbelt and running man concepts

Very good building block for defensive turtle, I wish if you added few subs attacks like kimura or other locks. Thank you
great structure to work from. effective against bb's and larger opponents right from day one, although i started using it at purple belt.
As always Priit delivers top notch information
great details
Classic Priit stuff that is great and useful but less about creating offense and more about how to defend certain attacks.
great defense
Another great instructional by Priit Mihkelson. I got very high level defense thanks to him and big part of it is turtle by him and Eduardo Telles.
Very good staff!!
This is an often under taught position. I’m glad there’s someone who has enough knowledge of this position to give a quality instructional.
It's must watch if you want to enhance your turtle game.
Priit has different approch to bjj overall. So this makes your defence definetly better. Need practising thou.
This guy has the best turtle defense that I've ever seen. I can't think of a better place to learn it.
simple common sense basics
Already started using these slight adjustments to improve my turtle. Definitely worth a watch!
Great product. Definitely improved my defense and helped me avoid spending time in bottom side control.
Priit Mihkelson has one of the best defenses of all the game. Highly recommended
great
Some people talk about Priit as a white belt trap, and maybe I have fallen into it, but I have had a lot of success with Priit's turtle instructional. Consequently, I've noticed my escapes getting better because I always feel as though I can resort to turtle, and my top pressure has been getting stronger because I actively try to avoid relying heavily on turtle. Maybe counterintuitive, but helpful nonetheless.
While at first one of my weakest position,Priit's concepts on this instructionnal and others made it so it is now where I feel the most at e se and even started to actively threaten sweeps and submissions from there, much to the dismay of my trainning partners!
I really enjoyed this instructional. The turtle that he uses is absolutely game changing. He explains the concepts of the position very well. Got really good compliments on my defense from my black belt instructor.
Pritts turtles are amazing. One of my favourite instructors
Great!
This is a really good series. He has material in here that I have never seen or tried before that is already paying off for me.
Helped my turtle immensely
My youngest gets caught here a lot great titbits to add to his game and progress his game
It's not the most exciting stuff to watch, but it's beautifully effective. Just starting to experiment with it, and when I get the right defensive positioning, people really do seem to be stuck. I look forward to integrating more of this into my game. I really like Priit's approach to killing offence before it even has a chance to begin.
I think Pritt's stuff is a must have for the older grappler. Especially those of us who have to slow things down due to not being as mobile as we used to be.
Good review of a position I often find myself in.
Great points in where to position head, arms and legs in turtle
use this in my game now
You can feel very secure in the turtle position using these tips and details
Great look into Pritt’s defense system. If you really want to shut down your opponents offense from bottom turtle, this a must have in you collection. Not a lot of products like this on the market so check it out.
If you want to learn how to protect you back, you need to learn from the best
Priit explains in great detail how to defend the common threats when in turtle and how to immediately begin attacking in various ways. Definitely improved my game.
Priit has mastered the art of efficiency. Let him teach you. His material will make you far harder to submit and let you have more fun on the mat. It is easy to attack when you don't fear the consequences of failure as much.
I have almost all of Priit's instructionals. His concepts have definitely made it harder for my training partners to submit me. If you want to learn how to be comfortable in uncomfortable positions , Priit's instructionals will help.
As an older grappler I like Priit’s approaches to defense; no one else I train with uses them so it’s helpful in slowly people down.
This video upgrade my defense immediately.
Another great course from Pritt. Instantly improved my turtle escapes and guard recovery.
I an very new to BJJ (3 classes). My instructor mentioned Priit and I watched some online videos. As an "older" newbie I appreciate all the detail to help me learn some of the basics and give me confidence to continue. I hope Priit continues to make more videos.
