Quickest shortcut to backmount from turtle position (grappling for MMA)
Arguably the easiest, quickest way to take the back from the turtle position in an MMA fight or grappling competition.
I have seen far too many people over complicate this transition and get themselves and their training partners hurt while trying to take the back when he bottom fighter is turtled up. The turtle position is a potentially dynamic position with many offensive options, and you should never flounder around on top giving the bottom fighter the time and the space to mount an offense.
