Budovideos.com - The Turtle DVD with Josh Russell - Never get tapped from the back again!

Josh Russell went from white belt to black belt in only three years, and he did it at the world famous Gracie Barra. He quickly gained a reputation of his back defense and attacks from the turtle position. Almost no one can successfully finish him from the back. He used those skills to go on to become a multiple time Brazilian Champion

This DVD covers:

Defending from the Turtle
Reversing from the Turtle
Attacking from the Turtle
Turtle Drills

"The turtle is a common position in Jiu Jitsu. Sometimes you need to go to your knees to avoid your opponent's side mount. I will give up one advantage point to avoid three points. Sometimes if you are down on all fours you have to open up so your opponent has to move. That is when they make the mistakes that cost them the fight."

Very good DVD with good amount of techniques from "all fours" or "turtle" position. The duration is not too long enough though. Nevertheless, it's a good buy.

Good video, I like the Turtle & Octopus series better, but it's wort having. Josh Russell BJJ is really nice.

Excellent content. I have found that fighting bigger guys (I am 155), that the turtle is a good transitional position. For me I'd rather be turtle than in someone's side control. My problem, is that once in the turtle I could not see all the options. I feel this will help me frustrate opponents when rolling. Really cool stuff in here.

Production quality is average, and Josh is a bit rough on the initial explanations. He gets better as the video goes on. The drills section was insightful.

Production value kind of low. Good instruction on an aspect that probably doesn't get enough attention. It is kind of short, but not too bad.
