As usual great system to lead your opponent to submission
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Excellent turtle material
Top of the line content! I recommend watching this one before the back attack series because it sets up the back position well.
Systematically Attacking the Turtle Position by Gordon Ryan turns one of Jiu-Jitsu’s most frustrating stalemates into a launchpad for domination. I used to stare at a turtled opponent thinking, “Now what?”—now I see free real estate on their back and a chance to make them deeply uncomfortable. Gordon covers everything—from dismantling posture, to securing hooks, to locking in high-percentage finishes—using his trademark step-by-step logic that feels like a cheat code. Even at 50 (with joints that creak louder than the gym door), I was able to plug several concepts straight into my game. What stood out Shows how to control, trap, and finish without speed or athleticism. Perfect for older grapplers who prefer boa-constrictor pressure over wild scrambles. Transitions are smooth and merciless—you’ll feel like you’re violating wildlife laws. Subtle details on leg placement and weight distribution instantly tightened my attacks. If you’re tired of opponents stalling in turtle, this series gives you a clear, ruthless system to punish that strategy—and turn the turtle into your favorite position to attack from. Highly recommended for anyone who likes to move methodically and finish with certainty.
Typical Gordon Ryan instructional, overboard (in a good way) on every single detail. Very helpful.
great details
Great turtle attacks

good
Gordon ryan
with the prominent use of wrestling and turtle, having a system to attack this position is so useful.
Very detailed and easy to follow
Excellent back attacks on the turtle position
great video
great road map to attacking a turtle
Will change your game
Very Nice lesson.
GREAT
good insight
Excellent instructional for learning how to break down the turtle.
great
My attacks have gone way up. people either get their back taken or fall to side control. Rarely do they ever recover their guards after I watched this video.
Gordon delivers once again. So much depth and always explains every detail and possible scenario. This compliments Danaher’s back attacks and Gordon’s back attack video.
This was something I was struggling with because a system is rarely taught in classes. Thank you for breaking it down Gordon!
Really good stuff here by Gordon Ryan. He breaks it down systematically so you know exactly what to do depending on what you opponent is doing
Awesome instructional love the details when put into practice properly the techniques are all great.
Great concepts
I improved my back finishing significantly on prior instructionals however my back takes were not working on top level guys, this instructional really helped with that
Great instructional as always!
Very Systematic and excellent content.
If you struggle breaking down people who play this position... it will be a thing of the past. Excellent insight here.
Another killer instructional Gordon! Thanks for sharing your knowledge man!
Excellent video!
What I love about Gordon’s instructionals is that he always tells you what we should be doing first off of our opponents reactions and then funnel their reaction in such a way that they can only do so much. Game changer. Control first then get to the back
My back takes from turtle have instantly gone up since watching this dvd. Gordon's explanations and teaching methods should improve even the newest bjj practitioners.
Many people in BJJ (including myself) don’t think to attack from turtle. Most times we break our partner down to mount, back control, or side control. There’s a whole realm of possibilities from attacking turtle that Gordon covers.
This is the perfect instrucional if you strugle to attack someone who likes to play turtle, It makes taking the back really easy
You learn so much just from watching even 10minutes of content.
