Pinning and the reflex to turn on ones belly are stupid.

pinning widely accepted in almost every part of the world as acceptable victory condition.

now... attacking someone in turtle? THATS stupid. My inclination every time is just to snatch someone's ankle and turn over on them. I cant imagine I'm alone in this instinct.

Totally agree with you on that turtle makes no sense. I always wonder how the rules could be made to avoid training that position.
