I figured this out by accident. I was playing around with a white belt, as you do, and I thought I'd spar with a shitty grip to give him a chance to fight back and use what he's learned. So I grabbed his wrist with just two fingers, my thumb and middle finger. And then I realized hold on a minute, this grip is so much stronger.
This is black belt level technique! The more advanced a grappler is, the more he's focused on establishing the dominant grips at the start of the match. Great stuff, thanks! 🙏👍
People dismissed these grips as oddities of old jiu-jitsu books and kung fu "postures" not ever having someone do it to them. That middle finger thing, that, is a big deal, really glad you did this, and that level change you clarified something I saw but could never quite do.
Please tell us everything you know about grips. I've seen a lot of Jimmy Pedro stuff on judo grips in the gi. I really need it broken down like this. You're amazing and thank you for posting this content on TH-cam
Grip fighting is so important to get the initial tempo advantage, good stuff. The "pads" are called the "eminences" if you want to sound fancy ^^. Thenar eminence for the pinky pad, Hypothenar eminence for the thumb pad.
Once again..!! This channel is what it's all about..!! Always top level techniques no matter your level..!! Us old school guys really have evolved games because we never stopped self analysis..!! I literally think all the time about how to improve techniques and develop sequences,, mostly based on things I did years and years ago..!! Worth mentioning..!! Back in the late 80's Gene Mills came to our school..!! One thing he demonstrated that always stuck with me was drilling control without ANY grips at all..!! We were ONLY allowed to use use closed hands the entire time to maintain control..!! He also demonstrated the 2 on 1 tip up, a variation of the 2 on 1 tilt..!! From that point forward the 2 on 1 was my go to control technique..!! I was forever changed..!!
Very useful video!! You grip the wrist like you would a tennis racket. The hypothenar eminence is what you are gripping. The thenar eminence is at the base of the thumb. Blame an anatomist for naming them -)
Brian and his boys are grapplers, not jiu jitsu players. You should check out Keenan Cornelius for gi grips. He's one of the more creative and knowledgeable in that realm who also shares a lot. (Edit spelling)
Please do more grip videos. How to grip in the back body lock, seatbelt, top of turtle single legs etc. As well as how to break grips from all positions, all in a series of videos. Would be amazingly useful
THanks so much coach ! I was can dubious (another yt grappling hannel I said) but the real thing about it is that it was dumb ; you not only have the will and knowledge to transmit, but you do it with a pertinent manner ; it does help me understanding my martial arts
The second complementary part would be to explain how to set up those grips since ppl keep their hand very close to their body, in a tight stance, to avoid any grappling tactic
Awesome video. Thanks for putting these out so regularly. I cant train at PG at the moment, put at least I can still get some coaching to drill with a partner at home. Much appreciated!
This guy looks like he smokes a pack of cigarettes and drinks a half bottle of jack every night... But then provides us with awesome grappling videos! My hero lol
The Best content ever for grappler as good as John Danaher .more informal then him, but Just as good as him. Gratis job Brian bien fan of your work wish i can go to US and train with you guys there that will be a Dream for me. Good day🙋🏻♂️
@@jestfullgremblim8002 back in the day (like 2 years ago) Coach was constantly telling Jon (who seemed to do the lion's share of recording) to come around and get the angle. I was purely joking, Jon's videography skills have advanced.

@1:56 the dudes watch vanished. Slick moves Peterson, slick moves.
This guy is such an amazing teacher
Coach, this is hands down (no pun) the best skill that I learned from you that had a massive impact on my grappling. Thank you very much!
Lesson number 1 when I wrestled in college, grip matters. It should crush. A powerful grip and heavy hands is very intimidating.
Another tip is instead of grabbing the wrist, grab the fingers. Trust me, you will have more control than grabbing the wrist.
dude this grip, is a fucking game changer. Learned it some time ago, and it made a huge difference for my back defense
This was really really interesting, thank you
this is so f.....g usefull and technical!!!!!!! merci!!!
I live for deep explanation of the basics. Awesome vid.

This has been immediately useful
damn, Excellent vid Coach Brian... grips on grips on grips for All y'all hating whenever I inquire about them "GRIPS"
damn, the osoto and drop seoi nage made me want to give them a try...
The $0.25 term for the pinky pad is the hypothenar eminence . The thumb pad is the thenar eminence
Awesome attention to detail Coach
Coach Brian is a BOSS. Thanks for the video coach!
It never ceases to amaze me how just a slight change in angle and or positioning makes all the difference.
Excellent. Iv seen ppl explain grips in this way but not for wrestling. Make perfect sense.
I've watched this any times over. Brilliant stuff.
First, thanks coach it's crazy how even a simple thing as holding a wrist can have such nuances
Hyperthenar eminence/prominence is the thumb pad, hypothenar for pinky pad
Old school karate flashbacks in this one, the handles of the human body
Yea this is awesome detail most schools wont teach you, thank you coach Brian.
Grip fighting is so important to get the initial tempo advantage, good stuff. The "pads" are called the "eminences" if you want to sound fancy ^^. Thenar eminence for the pinky pad, Hypothenar eminence for the thumb pad.
I think you got those reversed.
someone pointed out that I reversed them, oops. Hypothenar eminence = pinky pad. Thenar eminence = thumb pad. I prefer Coach Brian's descriptions.
One of the most useful videos on this channel. Stuff like this isn’t taught much.
This is gold.
GOLD information ! A Technique which is frequently used and which is very useful.!
Hooking the joints. Looks very usefull.
One of the best vids out there, So overlooked yet the absolute fundamentals. Thanks for posting

It's always the tiny details that make all the difference. Another phenomenal video. Thank you Coach
Really Cool and useful hint!!
Learned this grip years ago as a police defensive tactics instructor.
Your last two videos are gems, lots of knowledge. Feeling smarter now. :)
Thank you for posting this detailed information.
Very useful video!! You grip the wrist like you would a tennis racket. The hypothenar eminence is what you are gripping. The thenar eminence is at the base of the thumb. Blame an anatomist for naming them -)
Ah.... so you must put your hands on his eminence, but his eminence shouldnt put his hands on you.
Best channel I ve found on yt.
And I ve been looking for years.
This video was awesome no one have explained it to me for the 2 years I trained!
I love Coach Brian!!
Thanks coach. That is really cool of you to pass on that knowledge. Much appreciated.
I would love the same lesson with the gi as well. Thank you coach! Love the content as always.
They don’t rlly train gi
Brian and his boys are grapplers, not jiu jitsu players.
You should check out Keenan Cornelius for gi grips. He's one of the more creative and knowledgeable in that realm who also shares a lot.
(Edit spelling)
I've heard death-grips on the gi really isn't a good idea, as you can outright break your fingers if they tug hard enough.
9:25 same pitch as Knife attack seminars lmfao. Thanks coach! Solid as always.
Man, these are very damn useful.
Awesome
My coach has told me this a bazillion times im sure and somehow its still mind blowing to have brian explain it again.
Brilliance right here. More please.
Seriously your videos are very educational and your channel is way underrated.
Hi there, as a tigerclaw practioner of kung fu I have to say: These tips of you are pure gold! Thank you a lot for sharing them 🙏🤘
This is the good stuff. 👌
Bryan's throat sounds a little raspy, hope he feels ok soon.
off topic but would pay money to watch coach brian and john danaher flow roll
Yesss!
That’s a good thing because I’ve always use the grips the same way so I am thankful that you’re showing that bud
