Why is it important to have a proper turtle?

Your opponent needs to get their hooks in to secure back control, having a proper turtle can prevent those attacks (among others).

In BJJ the pose is called ‘turtle’, in yoga the pose is called ‘child’s pose’

The benefits of this pose in yoga (child’s pose) is it can ease lower back pain, increase flexibility in the hips, and improve circulation.

Many people can’t do turtle (child’s pose) properly.
The reason for this is perhaps because they are inflexible but more commonly because they don’t understand the mechanics of how to do the pose properly.

Check out our tutorial to help your turtle!

Kind Arthur pose is a great stretch for tight hips and is a nice yoga pose to try against a wall too. Great for beginners to yoga and people with tight psoas and quads. Tightness in the hip flexors can cause lower back pain too.

Tight Psoas can be linked to lower back pain and if you do jiu-jitsu, you know what lower back pain feels like.
We are all too used to waking up with a sore back after a few hard rounds of sparring the night before. The problem is we all get up and carry on with our day feeling sore and not dealing with the issue, but stretching and working on your mobility can help you get rid of that.
This stretch can help with some causes of lower back pain because when the hip flexors are tight it can be putting extra pressure on your lower back. The added hip mobility will benefit your jiu-jitsu too, giving you more movement and more options on the mats. Spend a few minutes on each side in this stretch and feel the benefits for yourself! If you don’t have a mat you can put your gi jacket under your knee.

We always hear stuff like: Why waste time on a yoga practice, when [insert elite BJJ fighter] only does BJJ and wins blah blah. But the reality is the more yoga you practice, the more you will see how it connects to your jiu-jitsu and makes it better. These are just some of the positions that look very similar, but the effects of breathing and mindfulness, dexterity and mobility go beyond just jiu-jitsu, they make EVERYTHING better.
