The reviews
Easy to implement system
This instructional is paced and structured very well. Information is presented in a systematic way which makes it easy to implement into your game bit by bit as you work through it. I've only been attempting these grip fighting strategies for a few weeks but I've already seen huge improvements during sparring in both BJJ and Judo. Worth getting if you don't already have a strong grip fighting game plan standing in the gi
Great video
Great video, easy to follow and excited to implement
Concise and effective!
I was super excited to buy this, but then was disappointed due to it's length: an hour and a half. I was used to 9-hour Danaher instructionals, so I was worried only an hour and a half couldn't cover much; however, Pedro's teaching is concise and very effective. After just 30 minutes of video, I dramatically improved by gi gripping. I'm super satisfied with this!
Excellent explanations
This video not only explains the how but also the why of gripping theory and application. It also shows how to overcome problems you might face.
Good systematic overview of gripping
Great video, he goes through most common gripping sequences
Clear, Concise System
This gripping system has massively improved my control of my opponents when doing stand-up in gi.
Amazing grip fighting concepts

An excellent Instructional on Grip Fighting, often overlooked IMHO.

An excellent Instructional on Griiping, very well laid out.
Win the grip fight, win the fight
Incredible instructional, with a lot of techniques and concepts that I think are equally relevant to jiu jitsu. Obviously they're different sports and rule sets, but Jimmy's gripping system is based on winning the gripping battle so as to nullify otherwise potentially superior opponents' offense. In the context of jiu jitsu, I think this is especially useful for those who want to impose their will on the feet.
A must watch when learning Judo
This instructional really laid out the foundation to effectively grip in Judo, which is the catalyst for all subsequent actions.
A must need if you are learning judo
Overall, jimmy does a great job explaining key details about the goals of gripping.
Great details

Great grip fighting system
There is a lot of great detales in this video that have helped me with my grip fighting for judo
Nice DVD! Top course!
Cool pitch. In my opinion, if you start wrestling in gi, this course is mandatory to study. Because the fight begins with the ability to take the grip correctly.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🔥awesome
systematically simple
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Sensei Thm
This course is the "PREMIER" example of excelient grapping for all levels. Unbelievable conent, easy to understand, outstanding detail. If you want to buy just one video this is the ONE that will definitely improve your judo skills.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻great tips for grip fighting
Insightful tips, great details
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Offensive gripping - gripfighting - executing
Sensei Jimmy Pedro modified and upgraded a gripping system taught by his father. That means decades of dedication and knowledge created this manual about offensive gripping. It is about beeing rhe durst and staying ahead. He points out so well the formular if domination. Stance. Moving. Gripping. Moving. Throwing. He offers great techniques to get grips, to get rid if your opponent's grips or nullufy them and eventually execute the attack. Clear. Simple. Effective!
Great gripping instructional
I am a judo guy who is cross training BJJ. This instructional is very easy to follow. The techniques can easily be integrated into drills for practice.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗😎Exactly what I needed
Gripping. Finally someone explaining a solid system to employ in my judo
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Great for basics on how to enter a stand up situation
Love this series
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Systematic way to get a judo advantage
Great, foundational material for leveling up your judo game. Really helpful for building a strong understanding of positioning. You'll learn what an advantageous position is, and how to get yourself there -- systematically, across a variety of scenarios (RvR, RvL, from hajime, from a different grip, etc). My only criticism is I wish there were a little more about what to DO, once you've won the fight for position. How can we take advantage of our dominant grips? What's the smartest way to set up your big throws from there? Otherwise, excellent content, well-thought out, easy to digest and put into practice.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Fantastic Instructional
Lots of useful information that is good for all levels. It's an area that is normally not focused too heavily on in classes so this is valuable.
the big advantage of gripping knowledge
this is a awesome instructional on gripping! any grappler who trains in the Gi needs this. you cannot go wrong with Jimmy Pedro.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Essential material
Jimmy does an excellent job with this video. Old or new to Judo this will help your randori. Execelent material for someone getting back into the grappling game
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Grip Like a World Champion 2.0
Excellent material, equal if not better than his original grip like a champion. I used many of his concepts when I was an active Judo competitor; his tools helped me on the path to win two US Judo National medals and two all armed forces Judo medals.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻Improved my confidence and success on the feet greatly - essential for the bjj athlete
This instiructional is essential viewing for bjj athletes. Having basically no judo experience, I can still say that the material in this video alone has greatly improved my confidence in the standing position, as well as my success there. After having drilled and put into practice the very basics of the gripping tactics that Jimmy teaches, I felt more at ease understanding what my training partners' options were from different gripping scenarios. Because Jimmy focuses on achieving grips that shut down the movement patterns that lead to throws, you don't need an extensive knowledge of throwing techniques to have confidence in your positioning within his gripping system. I also found that the gripping system really opened up my wrestling in the gi as it allowed me to operate with more initiative, take my grips, and go to work.
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗🤙🏻Coming from Bjj, start with gripping?
Im glad to be able to study this! I didnt know anything about gripping in judo so being introduced to it all - defensive grips like european grips or "russian grip" etc is so very useful! grip breaks and Jimmys thoughts on "being able to throw each side" and stance.. Its amazing to learn these things from such a guy! Thanks Pedro and Bjjfanatics.com!
Best dvd on gripping for bjjj
This DVD was fantastic. There is very little on gripping out there, and what there is is often focused on Judo rules. Jimmy Pedro is a legend In judo yet this instructional is accessible to BJJ players. You can implement these techniques immediately. Thanks for a great DVD!
Response from BJJ Fanatics🤗👍🏻I used it now as
I used it now as my standard gripping strategy and with succes
Response from BJJ Fanatics👍🏻Fantastic resource for an often overlooked skill
Love the systematic way Jimmy teaches. I've started putting his strategy in to practice and it's helping a lot. Having a plan and clear goals is hugely important, and I can start to formulate my own plan for attack off the various stages of the gripping sequence. Really good stuff!
Response from BJJ FanaticsThanks for much! We wish you all the best on your journey! 🤗
