His technique is amazing
great fundamentals
Give you a solid plan on using turtle. Also some push pull concepts in here that really stuck with me
Na faixa branca abri o YouTube em um dia qualquer e me apareceu o dvd completo do Eduardo Telles com os drills da guarda tartaruga, posições e abordagem. Fui pego pela simplicidade e depois que pesquisei sobre Telles e suas lutas, fiquei fascinado sobre quão eficiente era sua tecnica e seu estilo completamente diferente, desde então não deixei de acompanhar, tornou-se uma inspiração e referência para mim.
Very creative and passionate instructor.
Good tips and moves, being proactive with sweeps and reversals from turtle helps a ton!

I need this
This is a very interesting approach to turtle. You don't want to hang out there but it can offensive.
Solid content. Easy to understand and implement
Brilliant revisit of the classic techniques that made him a Champion.
improved my game
Professor Telles is an absolute genius. His influence was a big part of my game Twenty Years ago with Octopus and Turtle Guard when it was part of the "Grappling World" series. It's awesome to revisit these amazing techniques.
Telles is the progenitor of the turtle 'guard' system. In this, you'll see plenty of great concepts, and a series of reversals and submissions from the turtle. This has definitely kept me more safe in turtle.
Amazing techniques. I've always loved his techniques and this DVD has taken that part of my game to the next level.
Best Way for you to Learn disposition, great step-by-step instructional can really make turtle part of your game worth the purchase
Great! I’m looking for energy conservation while producing opportunities for submissions or reduction in my opponents control. Turtle guard, as a transitory factor while effectively framing allows flow control; I’m moving to half, deep half, dog fight, Mr.Schrembri, k-guard, etc…etc… Ideally, I’m grabbing a leg, then leg pummeling to get to the back. Make the path to the back awkward, then your opponents defenses are slowed.
Made my bottom Game a lot better and more versatile. Didnt really understand what to do from bottom Turtle before but now it has gotten a lot better.

I’m a fan of it .Short and straight to the point makes it Very easy to review.
Great skills from turtle position
Telles highly unique innovations and efficiency of movement in Turtle guard defense, reversal and attacks are beyond amazing! His laidback manner and concise approach with instruction makes this series accessible and of high value to practitioners of any level of experience!
Good watts to escape!!
Great overview of a underrated and subestimated position, techniques to the point!
Never knew it was a whole system.
Eduardo is the master of the turtle, and this video has helped my turtle game improve greatly.
Some great details to frustrate others while using minimal effort
I do both judo and BJJ, and this applies so well to both. A failed hip throw or shoulder throw often leaves you in the turtle, and Eduardo's content helps turn this position into an offensive one.
The methods and movements of Eduardo Telles transcended the constraints of his own time. His body of work stands as the bedrock of an ancient, golden civilization, presenting succeeding generations the invaluable blueprint from which to build and innovate. This permanence guarantees that his essential ideas will forever hold their untarnished, foundational worth.
Eduardo Telles is a genius competitor and amazing teacher. I used the steamroller sweep all the time and do my best to hit the Kimura. I'm trying to link this guard with deep half and Eduardo's teaching makes it all possible.
Turtle classics that work, directly applicable, no fluff, quality content
Awesome video . The Turtle Guard Revisited by Eduardo Telles
Un instruccional muy importante que debemos de comprar todos, aprender a defender y atacar desde guardia tortuga es obligatorio.
Great resource and insight!
A great instructional on playing turtle guard!
Excellent, and easily accessible content, straight to the point, and Eduardo is a real joy to learn from. Love this instructional. A must have for unorthodox guys that like setting traps and attacking from uncommon positions.
This was everything I wanted to know abut using turtle. Couldn't be happier with this instructional.
Some great techniques and details to stay alive and reverse from turtle. Could have used more details, maybe more angles, but wasn’t too expensive either. Worth it just to get instruction from the turtle master.
This is really helping me and changed my game.
There are a lot of small details that really helped me out a lot with turtle and sitting guard. Glad I got this since I didn't really know what to do from turtle before.
Just learn from the source and a living legend!
a revisitation of the works that made Telles famous.
