The Sitting Turtle by Priit Mihkelson
Sitting Turtle: Priit Mihkelson
- Taking a cue from legendary Turtle Guard player Eduardo Telles, Priit Mihkelson is back with a deep dive into his complete system that breaks one of the number one rules we learn when we start jiu jitsu, Never Show Your Back!
- In The Sitting Turtle, this forty-something Estonian is going to share his complete Sitting Turtle or Panda position which will keep you safe from back attacks, but will also give you the tools to deal with many other frustrating positions.
- Priit Mihkelson is sought after all over the world for seminars because of his entertaining and philsophical approach to BJJ.
- His simple, yet extremely effective approach is perfect for grapplers at every level who are looking for a fresh perspective on positions they THOUGHT they knew!
