John Danaher has a very methodical approach for taking the back. The first thing to remember when taking the back of a turtled opponent is to recognize how your own body position influences your approach. To attach yourself to your opponent, if you can, secure a grip on your training partner’s wrist and establish a seat belt grip. From here you should work towards placing a knee inside your opponent’s turtle position. Try to place your knee between the thigh and elbow. This will start to break down your opponent’s posture. Turn your knee towards your opponent’s hips. When you drag down your opponent this will create a tension point as you complete the back take. Danaher calls this method a “low amplitude” back take. It does not require any highly technical knowledge to pull off, and is not only effective but safe.

Entering an opponent’s turtle and breaking their posture can sometimes be very frustrating! This is a great method for anyone who has had difficulty fighting a turtled opponent. Remember this one the next time you are training or in a live roll! It could prove to be very helpful.
