How is your arm...
This guy had a great attempt at escaping this armbar although next time he shouldnt be leaving his arm out there) but the person applying the armbar also did a great jjob keeping the arm under control.

This judoka has used her body really well by keeping her hand there means the fight is still within the compeition area.

Roy Dean has wonderful videos and great DVD's and really does give a good depiction of bjj.

Gripping for Judo & BJJ
Gripping exercises for Judo and BJJ.
In Judo and BJJ a strong grip is very useful when breaking grips, holding your opponent but more importantly when applying a strangle using your opponents gi.
What makes a strong grip?
A strong grip is simply strong forearm muscles (wrist extensors and wrist flexors) as well as strong fingers and wrists.
How do you get a strong grip?
You grip will get stronger straight away by just training consistently with people wearing gis.
But you can speed up your grip by adding a variety of different exercises into your gym routine.
These exercises include:
- Farmers walk
- Rope climbing
- Wrist roller
- Heavy deadlifts
- Heavy lat pulldowns and seated rows
- Forearm curls and reverse curls
- Sled pulling using a rope
- Squeezing your hand open and shut in a bucket full of rice
- Kumi Kata (grip fighting)
Just implement some of these exercises into your gym program and you will see the results in a matter of weeks.
