Grip fighting techniques

Shoulder rolls

• Practice rolling your shoulder away from a grip
• Practice rolling your shoulder into and through a grip

Break his sleeve grip (starting from he has your sleeve and you have his)

• Reach over your other arm
• Drive his hand into your other hand (really stretch him out and turn your body into it)
• Immediately come back to your stance (like your elbowing him in the face with the arm you just freed)
• If you go to slow and he starts to reach over you for a back grip, hook his leg and drive for o soto gari
• Immediately go for a high shoulder or back grip with your newly freed hand
