was to keep Gordon at bay in a defensive turtle position until a five-minute mark occurred, in which case he would shake Gordon off, walk away, and force a takedown battle.
Turtle position is the second bottom position of jiu jitsu.
Many people only associate guard position with bottom position in jiu jitsu.
That's naive.
There's two.
There's guard position and turtle position.
Now, as a general rule, guard position offers a much, much greater variety of attacking options than turtle position does.
But that's not to say turtle position absolutely can be an effective bottom position.
You can work effectively from there.
So there's some case to be made that to wait out five minutes, turtle might be... I mean, I personally think it...
Against Gordon Ryan, I mean, I admire the fellow's courage.
It's not easy.
But there was a logic to what he was doing.
People think, oh, he just got his back taken so easily.
But he did have a strategy.
Now, did he pick the right person to use that strategy against?
Probably not.
At this point, it just started to dawn on me at this point, this guy actually had a strategy, which was to maintain a prone position that he's in now, and then shake Gordon off after the five minute mark.
So once that became obvious, now I'm starting to look at the clock and how close we are.
If we can take it up to five minutes.
