Chimaev vs Strickland?
did you see Chimaev's fight against Sean Strickland? he wouldn't have lost if he had seen this video I understand that competition bjj is a points game but in real life that is not going to work and you need to have other options and the option that I have found works best is this one. yuki Nakai showed his great at all levels is the president of jujutsu in Japan lost an eye on valetudo japan1995
good stuff
I remember watching his amazing performance in the Rickson Gracie Documentary "Choke" always wanted to see an instructional from him and this didn't disappoint.

Side Back Control by Yuki Nakai
This instructional is well worth it; explanations are clear and concise. In particular, the back escape material is generally not seen so much.
Turtle top game approached as the 4th top position to be
Turtle top game approached as the 4th top position to be/to seek and capitalize off. Step by step with overall insights and a gameplan how to force your opponent into it. Recommend!

Great insights
Unique instructional !
This dvd covers some very interesting attacks against the turtle position including top crucifix and rolling crucifix attacks, an interesting double under, double lapel grip position that i had never seen before and might be more familiar to judoka, some unique specialty position, and yoko sankaku position attacks (side triangle). The hara-tsutzumi position attacks the turtle head on and transitions into an pin. The importance of pinning is stressed throughout the DvD and the pins that are shown are very powerful. The Nakai position is a twister hook flow position that he shows how to chase and maintain the position as the opponent attempts to escape it creating a loop that’s hard to escape and at the very least creates several opportunities for back exposure. There’s also a section on how to defend yourself, when in the bottom turtle position itself, that is very insightful. The finial disc covers Yoko Sankaku or side triangle position which should be familiar to judoka, being it is a common way to attack the turtle. There’s a also a brief section on using the lapel arm sling or neshitori technique that I use a lot in my own game after discovering it a few years back on an instructional on digitsu. All in all this is a great instructional that has a unique and inspiring take on attacking the turtle position, heavily influenced by Kosen Judo and Professor Nakai’s great insight
Different perspective
One of the instructionals i loved most. Simply perfect, a whole new approach to the position
