Wrestling - Turtle Position

Today at Jiu-Jitsu class we focused on a couple of wrestling moves. This was new to me and should prove to be useful as these particular wrestling moves work when someone is in a turtle position and taking the back really isn't feasible.

The wrestling move I liked the best is when your opponent is in the turtle position and you are on the side of him: reach over or under his near side arm and grab his far side wrist, reach over with your other hand and grab his far side ankle, now put your head into the side of his ribs and drive your head forward while pulling back on his wrist and ankle - this will flip him over as you end up in side control.

Yup.....I plan on using this one!!
