The Turtle position in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is nowhere as greatly explored as other positions are. That is to say: there are a number of possibilities when your opponent turtles up, both for positional advantage and for submissions… But the matter of the fact is that you probably haven’t spent a lot of time experimenting with it.
If that’s the case, then you should probably learn this choke. It’s so simple – and so effective – that it’ll make your mind explode.
Sure, feel free to reread that headline… Alright, done it? Yup, it’s indeed called the Ankle Shelf Turkey Choke.
