What Will You Learn?

People who have purchased Priit’s Guard Retention and Turtle instructionals are blown away by his unique approach.  Mihkelson doesn’t simply run through a series of disconnected techniques that you will throw into your toolbox not really knowing how to apply them.  Instead, he clearly presents the underlying concepts of each of these techniques and positions making it MUCH more likely that you’ll be able to put them into practice and keep your back from being taking using his Sitting Turtle approach.

So What’s on this series?

This four volume series is going to be a deep dive into the concepts behind the Sitting Turtle and the Panda position.  Once you’ve got a firm grasp on each of the positions and their uses, Priit goes through a wide variety of situations and scenarios in which to employ them.  

Volume 1 of the series is going to serve as an introduction to the positions and get you right into dealing with pesky side control.

Volume 2 is going to be a deeper dive into the positions, with focus on addressing various passing types like torreando passes, knee slice passes and over/under passes.

Volume 3 and Volume 4 will present more and more practical uses for Sitting Turtle and Active Panda

So what exactly do you get?

With this purchase, you are going to get 4 volumes of instruction chock full of ways to deal with all of the most frustrating aspects of the back attack.  Priit is going to show you how to address the hooks, the seatbelt and most importantly, defend against those strangles.

But that’s not all, he is also going to show you the proper way to employ the Sitting Turtle and Panda against guard passes and when you find yourself stuck in bad spots, like the dreaded side control.  This series will change the way you think about your game for the better!
