A versatile position like the turtle can’t be covered in just one week. And so Shawn Williams and Leo Tunico this week bring some new secrets to light at Renzo Gracie Online Academy.

Shawn shows two situations that involve the makikomi roll, a move that consists of trapping one of your opponent’s arms and spinning your body on top of it, forcing them to roll along and end up on the bottom, being side-controlled.

Tunico also teaches an interesting trap. Notice that the moment he manages to hip-escape laterally, he jumps over his opponent’s torso and ends up in side control.

In your lifestyle lesson, red-and-white-belt Marcio Stambowsky points out benefits of a lighter way of life whose demands are more sensible.

Os estudos de uma posição tão fértil como os quatro apoios não podem ser resumidos em poucas posições. Por isso, Shawn Williams e Leo Tunico dão continuidade às aulas sobre saídas da “posição tartaruga” (como a posição é apelidada), no curso de Jiu-Jitsu da Renzo Gracie Online Academy.

Shawn mostra, por exemplo, o rolamento makikomi, golpe que consiste em aprisionar um dos braços do oponente e girar o corpo por cima desse domínio, obrigando o adversário a rolar junto e terminar a movimentação por baixo, sendo dominado lateralmente.

Tunico também ensina uma armadilha interessante. Repare como, no momento em que o professor consegue escapar os quadris lateralmente, ele salta por sobre o tronco do oponente e termina a movimentação no cem-quilos.

Na aula sobre qualidade de vida, o faixa-vermelha-e-branca Marcio Stambowsky, o “Macarrão”, exalta a importância de um estilo de vida mais leve, no qual as cobranças pessoais são menos rigorosas e mais sensatas.

Esta semana, no curso de Jiu-Jitsu da Renzo Gracie Online Academy, Rolles Gracie e Leo Tunico ensinam macetes que vão permitir que você se proteja com eficiência quando ficar em quatro apoios, tendo o oponente às suas costas. Você vai conseguir transitar em segurança para outras posições e até mesmo contragolpear, caso apareça algum espaço convidativo.

Neste exemplo, Rolles mostra como escapar os quadris rapidamente para o lado e, logo em seguida, com um movimento brusco, reposiciona-se de costas para o chão, fazendo guarda.

Se o adversário resolver mudar de posicionamento de repente, tombando para o lado, Tunico revela como você deve aproveitar a oportunidade para projetar o próprio corpo por sobre o tronco do oponente e estabilizar o domínio lateral.

Na aula sobre qualidade de vida, o ídolo do judô americano Travis Stevens analisa sua trajetória no esporte e fala de forma inspiradora sobre mudanças e adaptações ao longo do caminho.

This week, Rolles Gracie and Leo Tunico teach tips that will enable you to protect yourself effectively when on all fours with your opponent behind you. You will be able to safely transition into other positions and even counter-attack.

In this example, Rolles shows how to quickly shrimp to the side and then, with an abrupt motion, repositions himself on his back, playing guard.

If your opponent decides to suddenly change positions, falling to the side, Tunico reveals how you should seize the chance to project your body over your opponent’s torso and stabilize side control.

In your lifestyle lesson, American judo idol Travis Stevens analyzes his trajectory and talks about change and adapting.

JT Torres is one of the greatest American talents in Jiu-Jitsu today.

He has been collecting great results all around the world.

As he trains for another run at the world title as a black belt, we feature one of his most crafty techniques.

Pay close attention and add this clock choke to your game.

Pan and Worlds No-Gi champion Eduardo Telles teaches one of his trademark turtle guard techniques.

During a class at Fernando Tererê’s academy in Rio, Telles took the opportunity to teach a nice way to sweep and get to side control.

Join the class and add a great technique to your game.

Here, Cavalcanti shows how to prepare the grips when your opponent is on all fours. Check it out:

Anyone near Carpina on Monday, March 19 will have the chance to learn some slick Jiu-Jitsu from the source. As gathered by GRACIEMAG.com, São Paulo black belt Eduaro Telles (Nine Nine) will be holding a highly sought-after seminar in the town in Pernambuco State.

And anyone not fortunate enough to be there to learn from the king of the turtle guard still gets a chance to learn how he catches opponents by surprise early in a match. Check it out:

In this video, Matt Daquinto, a judo black belt from the 2008 Olympics, demonstrates a series of options that he calls the turtle attack. Watch and learn:

One of the main standouts from the 2009 International Masters and Seniors tournament was Eduardo Telles. The black belt leader of Nine Nine academy won both his weight group and the absolute. This year, we’ll see Telles and his famous turtle guard in action at the Tijuca Tennis Club.

“I’m going to participate and we’re taking a really big team. We’re getting all the old guys ready! We’re going in full blast!” he warns.

Last year, besides the International, Telles also tried his luck at the Rio Open championship, which takes place at the same time, but meant for the adult divisions.

“I think I’m only going to focus on the master this time. Last year I tried both, but it was rough. You end up getting really tired,” he says.

There are those who might think competing as a master would be easier than as an adult. However, there are complicating factors.

“It’s different. The hard part in the master division is match duration, as it is really short (6 min, four less than in the adult). I still plan on competing as an adult, but this masters championship is really great. It’s cool and we compete alongside a number of legends. I hope it stays that way and the event gets bigger and bigger,” he says in finishing.
