Like you, she's an SBG purple belt).<br /><br />I hadn't thought of crossing them over, so that sounds like an interesting variation. Will definitely give it a go.slideyfoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05374174757753962274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19359626.post-49070864448403430472010-02-17T09:55:54.228+00:002010-02-17T09:55:54.228+00:00Great detail, but then again I've come to expe...Great detail, but then again I've come to expect that from you :)<br /><br />About the turtle defence. The way I understand it, you initially held your hands by your face (palm to cheek/jaw).<br /><br />Try this: cross your wrists and keep the back of your hands close to your cheecks/jaw, using your palms to deflect hands approaching your lapels. This works when defending chokes from the back too.<br /><br />I think Saulo (in JJ Uni) takes it a step further by chosing a side in the turtle and keeping that side glued to the mat. That way, you only need to defend lapel attacks from one side. Defo worth playing around with. <br /><br />Let me know what you think.Liam H Wandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15592644859626736304noreply@blogger.com
