In a captivating BJJ tournament, Brown belt Raoul Audhoe, mentored by Priit Mikhelson, dazzled onlookers with his inventive take on the Turtle position. Commonly perceived as a defensive posture, Audhoe demonstrated that it can be successfully converted into a potent offensive tool.
His mission was clear: submit every opponent without losing a single point, all while utilizing the BJJ Turtle position. By turning his back to invite engagement, Audhoe left opponents bewildered, initially believing they had an easy win at hand. However, as they struggled to establish hooks, score points, or attempt chokes, their desperation made them vulnerable. This allowed Audhoe to launch relentless attacks and submissions. Impressively, he submitted seven opponents in a row using his groundbreaking Turtle technique.
