Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Helpful
Survival, escapes, transitions, subs... very informative
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Out standing video that has
Out standing video that has been rebooted, I purchased it when originally cam out and really helped with turtle defense and counters. A must have instructional for those who are not guard replacers.
Excellent value. Anticipates Defensive BJJ
Along with many important details able how to sweep from turtle, Telles gives rare but effective tips on how to avoid back chokes. I can definitely see how Priit and Chris Paines and Wim Deputter have been heavily influenced by Telles. Even after seeing much of their stuff, it was still very useful to hear the defensive BJJ from Telles himself.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻An offbeat essential
I'd been eyeing this instructional for a while, and I'm very glad I finally purchased it. There are three main unique qualities I've found here 1) The instructional contains a good number of innovative moves that can be used in the turtle or turtle/adjacent situations, rather than only one move with dozens of minute variations 2) Eduardo's weight and bearing are so unique and seeing him execute these moves reinforces exactly how the body mechanics work - his efficiency is unparalleled 3) The video is just the beginning of a new attitude towards using defensive postures to attack. I'm already coming up with combinations and alternatives based on the foundation set here
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great instructional and techniques. Simple
Great instructional and techniques. Simple but very effective.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🔥Turtle guard revisited
Nice turtle details from the OG turtle master.
Turtle guard
This is a really fun and thought provoking video. If you’re looking to break out of your usual patterns: check this out. (Unless your usual pattern is to play from turtle…maybe I would still recommend it!)
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻If you would like to improve your turtle game you have get this content!
E. T. provided an short but very detailed instructional about his very unique style of using the turtle to set up his attacks and protect yourself from your opponents attacks. He points out really well how valuable the turtle position can be to counter attack your opponents action and reaction to your advantage. He also shows how well the turtle position connects to half guard and deep half guard as well as recover closed and open guard. He also points out in detail how the moves and the diffrent actions/reactions connect to each other. His techniques are simple and easy to follow. Highly recommend!!

Half guard
:call_me_hand::call_me_hand:👍�
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗Great teaching
My style is to diversify the half guard, but in order to avoid being passed by my opponent, I learned from this great video and it made fighting a little easier!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Ver
Some very nice details for building good defensive skills. Being able to defend against aggressive passers is one of the toughest challenges for beginners and I started using some of the concepts for my students with good success.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great for beginners
As I start BJJ, I get my back and taken - a lot. This instructional makes you feel more comfortable in the turtle position while you try and figure out where to go next.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Turtle guard master
Eduardo is the turtle guard GOAT. Wanna learn turtle? Learn from the man who’s known to be the best at it.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Telles Turtle Guard Series
This instructional is great for anyone looking to diversify their game and introduce the turtle guard! I remember attending a Telles seminar and his laid-back style, presentation of scenarios, and unconventional moves really resonated with me, so I was really glad to see this whole instructional go through the basic guard concepts. Ordering from BJJ Fanatics is always good value and well organized content!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Superb content.
Superb content.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Why tap when you can smile?
Used wisdom from this video in a tournament last week and won gold from inside seated back mount. When she went for a lapel choke, I just turned my head and smiled cause I knew she couldn't finish it in a million years. She spent a minute chasing the submission, giving me a minute to work for a straight ankle lock. Man, was she pi$$ed. Ended up getting two taps in one cause she forfeited the next round out of anger.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻When Eduardo Telles talks about Turtle, you listen
Excellent instructional and techniques that I have put to good use - nuff said!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Turtle is not a defensive position
Eduardo Telles shows impressively, that the Turtle position is not just a defensive position but can be redefined as a very offensive position where a lot of people will not expect you to be the driving force. Great details and a clear and on point instruction.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Worth the price

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻It was a very satisfying lecture.
It was a very satisfying lecture.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻FANTASTIC Overview of the turtle!
This is a great overview of some of the turtle concepts, sweeps, and reversals from turtle. It is a good supplement to Eduardo Telles instructional on turtle and octopus guard. And it is good along with Neil Melanson's "Tactical Turtle". This instructional gives you some ideas for sweeps and transitions to and through turtle and lets you show your back to your opponent on your own terms.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻The Turtle guard revisited by Eduardo Telles.

Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Improvement
Really help me improve in techniques I knew but didn't know the smaller details
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great
Great supplement
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻For anyone naturally attracted to turtle
I think the steam roll technique is worth the price of admission. I do wish there was more of an expansive overview of turtle but what is here is good and applicable.
Turtle revisited
I should have gotten this instructional years ago! Eduardo's unorthodox style is very efficient and shows many ways to use turtle that just isn't really taught. This is a must have! Unlock turtle power!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻great details
I like the extra details he explains with techniques and ideas you should have
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Very educational
Could have used this back in my younger days when I was slowed down due to injuries. Some people viewed the turtle as a "bad" position to be caught in. It something that happens to even the best.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻One of my favorite BJJ
One of my favorite BJJ practitioners. It's always great to see what he does and why he does it. I wish this video has more content.
Good stuff
Some neat reversals I've never seen anywhere else!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Great sweeps!
This turtle instructional has given my a new outlook on using this particular position to sweep more. The professor shows these techniques in a simple way to understand the concepts an retain the information.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻best
This is best lecture!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Turtles
Very good info relating to turtle position and varied was to use. Can use turtle for many things, setting up sweeps or other attacks. Well worth it.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Good video for all the bottom game players
All jiu jitsu players should improve turtle guard skills not to be passed, and taken back control by the opponent. This video is the best for the turtle guard beginners. Watch it and you'll become a skillful turtle in your gym.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Turtle Master OG
Professor Telles shows the versatility of the turtle position. He shows a solid game plan to keep your back safe while transitioning out of turtle and be offensive at the same time, which makes turtle guard a fun position to play. Thanks Professor for the knowledge :call_me_hand:
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Turtle guard plus much more.
All the reviews at the time of writing this review focus on the turtle guard content, but there is much more including: a side control escape; teaching how to defend the back plus multiple techniques to escape back control effectively and efficiently; how to setup an ankle pick from open guard and from standing; and a series of submission entries for the kimura. Turtle guard coverage includes movement, multiple sweeps, avoiding submissions (i.e., clock choke, crucifix, front headlock and loop choke); entering submissions from the turtle position (e.g., turtle-plata); and the final chapter of the second volume is a brief summary of the core turtle guard techniques. Eduardo Telles is easy to understand, he speaks in a deliberate and knowledgeable manner. The demonstrations are clear and easy to understand. He engages with the audience and for me this made it more enjoyable to watch (e.g., positive interactions with his uke). The instructional has been filmed with a fixed camera. The quality of the video is good, as is the range (perfect) and there are no notable issues with the microphone. The available previews are consistent with the whole instructional. In my opinion the knowledge gained from viewing and studying this instructional will be used regularly in rolling, particularly if you are rolling with a larger or more mobile opponent. It is truly an important instructional to add to your library and represents good value. This is two volume instructional and has a total runtime of 1 hour and 18 minutes.
