Turtle inversion back take
Also known as Kiss of the Dragon — the canonical term used on this site.
Descriptive — turtle-position inversion back-take
Turtle inversion back take is the descriptive name for the Kiss of the Dragon — flagging the turtle-position entry and the inversion mechanic that defines the back-take sequence.
Etymology. “Turtle inversion” specifies the entry context (turtle position) and the rotational mechanic (inversion); “back take” attaches the offensive category. The descriptive form predominates in instructional vocabulary that prefers structural-mechanic descriptions to metaphorical names.
Mechanics. The inversion-into-back uses the bottom player’s turtle posture as the structural anchor — the attacker rolls beneath the bottom player and emerges at back position once the inversion completes.
Cross-reference. “Kiss of the Dragon back take” and “Granby back take” are alternate names. Full mechanical coverage on Kiss of the Dragon.
