Aggressive Turtle/Belly Down Attacks - Mongolian Judo Matwork/Grappling Transitions: Uransetseg Munkhbat

Her use of the typically Sambo related omoplata/inverted roll is particularly sharp. She has combined the front triangle turnover with the 1/2 crucifix foot in at the elbow to create both a turnover into a pin and a powerful submission. She's combining the turnover with the crucifix style entry to either isolate the arm for breaking or create a turnover for a pin. Along the way the triangle can present itself as well. The side on triangle in Judo is also a pin.

 The lack of pinning in JiuJitsu and favoring of getting to guard (along with the underlying willingness to jump guard/sit to guard) in one capacity or another leads to different transitional considerations, but the emphasis here on the knockdown/stumble effect of a solid takedown attempt and looking for immediate attacking/offensive entries be is belly down, turtle, them turning away or trying to regain base is all worthwhile examination. If JiuJitsu players would look to break open the turtle defensive shell rather than futilely try to dig in hooks, they would find more success. Combined with efforts to get back up (wrestling/MMA/Judo) and entries for kneebars et cetera, the turtle is an effective position (see also Sakuraba fishing out the Kimura) and doesn't have to be a static or stalling position. Competitors get comfortable here in JiuJitsu because of a lack of attacking tools by many JiuJitsu centric training partners.

Another fine exponent of the inverted omoplata roll is Igor Kurrinoy.
