Grip Fighting Drills - Basic to Advanced

Don't forget to follow me on other social media:
Gripping is such an important part of Judo (you cannot throw, what you cannot hold), in this tutorial we look at gripping a same sided opponent (if you are right handed, your partner will be right handed).

It is really simple to start with, taking the sleeve first and then the lapel. Our partner does not try to stop us. We add some movement, footwork, pressure, reactions, resistance then voila all of a sudden we have some advanced grip fighting drills.

I encourage everyone to do this in stages and do not rush, I am using this gripping strategy as a teaching framework over 6 weeks. If you want to throw more, here is a good start. #Judo #Throw #Gripping #GripFighting

This is really good advice, thinking of that diagonal line has made such a difference to my judo. Thank you sensei

Vince very good. We are about to combine that element into our practice set of throws.
