Teddy Riner is one the road to becoming one of the best Judo players ever. This photo is this year at the Tokyo World Championships winning his 3rd world title at 21 years of age. It is rumoured that he will follow Japans Ishii into the world of Mixed Martial Arts but i think that the money he is making out of judo, and the legendary status he will achieve will be enough to keep him in the sport.
I am an Australian Judo player who constantly thinks about anything to do with Judo and Grappling, whether it be techniques, tactics or workouts. This blog is where i write about my journey to qualify for my 2nd Olympic games as well as share good photos, videos and information about Judo and Bjj.
I am always thinking about Judo and so i decided last year to start a blog where i can get everything out of my head and 'on paper', so far i think it has worked.
I hope you enjoy reading my blog and if you ever want to comment on any posts, photos or videos please do not hesitate in doing so. My Official website can be accessed by clicking the link on thr right hand side or simply going to www.wix.com/beyondgrappling/beyond-grappling Cheers Matt

A pinning hold (also known as a hold down and in Japanese as osaekomi-waza, 押さえ込み技, "pinning technique") is a general grappling hold used in ground fighting which is aimed at exerting superior control over an opponent and pinning the opponent to the ground. Pinning holds where both the opponent's shoulders touch the ground are considered winning conditions in several combat sports. An effective pinning hold is a winning condition in many styles of wrestling, and is known as simply a "pin". Pinning holds maintained for 25 seconds are also a winning condition in Judo. Pinning holds are also used in submission wrestling and mixed martial arts, even though the pinning hold itself is not a winning condition. The holds can be used to rest while the opponent tries to escape or to control the opponent while striking, a tactic known as ground and pound.
