Nice details
I found Attacking & Defending The Turtle by Travis Stevens to be really helpful. It helped me understand fundamentals of this important position and has definitely helped me in my wrestling, not just dealing with turtle, but also transitioning into other positions. The video is extremely clear and straightforward, with good but not overly complex detail - very accessible. As usual, BJJ Fanatics has produced another excellent video and has been really helpful to me. It's as if they know what I'm struggling with in my training and say hey; "we've got a video for that!" Awesome stuff, as usual.
The difference between Judo and BJJ rulesets means that turtling is much more prevalent in Judo: pinning means it's riskier to turn into a passing opponent. This means every Judo player has to both be good at turtling and be able to deal with a turtle. This is not so true in BJJ, so it's simply a less common position (though some, like Telles, will play with it.) Travis Stevens has competed at the highest levels of the sport, and is clearly experienced with the position. Even as somebody who plays both BJJ and Judo, I found his video to be helpful. The one thing that I would have liked is dealing with leg staples from the rear.
