Grips

Grips are important to Jiu-Jitsu, as you probably know. It’s also something that is very nuanced. Where to grip, how to grip, and when to abort a grip are all pieces of knowledge gained in the BJJ journey. One of the best pieces of advice I’ve gotten about gripping is a rule of three. By causing someone to regrip or break a grip three times, frustration has begun to set in. By continually applying a pressure for your opponent to address, the attacking momentum of the match shifts in your favor. An effective gripping sequence thwarts your adversary and opens attacking windows for you. Are you using gripping sequences to your full advantage?
