When couples come to me for mixed martial arts personal training, they often want to learn practical skills that build confidence and teamwork. One of the most challenging yet rewarding positions we focus on is the turtle position. This lesson dives into how to effectively use ground and pound techniques from this position, helping both partners sharpen their offense and defense in a controlled, safe environment.

My couple clients are on the sixth hour of their new Submission Grappling/Ground fighting course. We are keeping our focus on attacking and defending from the turtle position. In line with the decisions made at the conclusion of last week's class tonight's training was all about gaining more experience sparring from this position.
