Turtle Position (cont) - MMA Gyms in Illinois and Indiana

Rolling Position. Position yourself out to your opponent's side. Place one arm under and around your opponent's neck. The other goes over his back and under his far arm. Lock your hands tightly. Push your shoulder down on the back of your opponent's head so that his forehead touches the floor. Sprawl your legs out and position yourself perpendicular to your opponent. Making sure your chest is tight to your opponent's upper back, roll over the shoulder that you placed on the back of your opponent's neck. You will land in a position stretched out in front of your opponent' with your hand-grip still in place. Pull strongly with both arms to whip your opponent over on top of you. he will land in your lap. Place your hooks in and attack with the sleeper hold.

Wrist-control-to-arm-bar method. From on top of your opponent in the turtle position, reach in behind his armpit and grasp his wrist close to the hand. Pulling on the trapped wrist and leaning your weight down on your opponent, begin to circle around his head. stand up and step all the way round your opponent's head, still controlling the wrist and pulling it up and across your opponent's head, still controlling the wrist adn pulling it back. Sit down(shuffling backwards as you sit down helps the move), and fall into the arm bar position. Be sure to clamp your knees together and control the wrist of the locked arm. Keep the thumb of the captured arm uppermost to make for a more efficient application of force.
