How To Defend Yourself: Turtle Twister

Our next position is going to be when we are attacking against turtle when he is trying to escape, he is going to go from one of those single leg escapes that we worked on, so our opponent has pulled Turtle, he is working one of the escapes. Now what I am going to do is I am going to reach over and I am going to get a Kimora grip almost so that you can see the grip, grab him like this on his arm. This arm is going down and through. This other one is just reaching around and grabbing it. I am going to take this other leg, I am going to step over him and do a diagonal kind. I am just going to step over him to do a somersault.

So I am here, I step over and somersault using this leg to pull him over. When I do that I got to sit up around this arm, like I am going for the armbar, straight over into the arm bar if you want, but anyway, I am here, keep this leg good and tight. I sit up, move my opponent's head, I am going to get Chris to fix attack. Alright, our opponent is in turtle position, we are going to reach under here and grab his arm, reaching underneath his armpit, grabbing the arm with both hands. I am going to take his other foot, I am going to step over and do a dive roll just going to roll him over and I am going to keep with my right leg and he has got hooked for the escape. I am going to keep it hooked. Alright, that's what we are going to use to twist him over. So I step over and I roll keeping this hooked. From here, I can close it out, go to the armbar or I can keep it hooked, sit up and then get a twister.

One last time, going the other way. We are here, our opponent has that single escape, I reach over underneath the armpit, grab it, this arm grabbing onto his arm, I step over with his leg and I dive roll. So here, I can push down to go to the arm bar or I can sit up, get the twister. That's a good turtle attack. It provides you two different options at the end, you can deal it with the armbar or the twister. That is a good way when your opponent has switched his base, you have him in Side Mount, he is going for the escapes, for his turtle position he is trying to pull a single leg escape. It is a good way for you to attack him.
