Grips

A quick, simple cross-collar choke that runs entirely on grip depth — both hands buried deep in the collar before the squeeze. Proof the basics finish when the grips are right.

Watch the reel

Allen Pyatte — a state-champion wrestler turned MMA fighter — shares what his on-screen text calls a wrestling room secret: an elite grip break, demoed solo against his own wrist so the hand positions stay unobstructed. Interlock, twist, and the grip comes apart. It gives this card its other half — the first entry wins with a grip; this one removes theirs.

A street-clothes scenario from the Yildirim Wrestling System: a man grabs the defender's collar, and the grab becomes his undoing — the defender controls the gripping arm, steps in and throws him flat, staying on his feet. It completes this card's trio: the first entry wins with a grip, the second removes theirs, this one punishes it.

João Eduardo Gonçalves — a CBJJE world champion — files this under his own title, "two takedowns for your game," and it sits in this card because the grip is the lesson: the same collar-and-sleeve control produces both finishes. From it he drops to a knee and sweeps the leg for the first, then changes level and lifts for the second. Master one grip, own two throws.

A caption-less reel from Cohab Tamoio, a neighbourhood academy in Brazil whose whole pitch is training for people who want to evolve. The catch is the filing itself: with no caption and no readable technique name anywhere, the specific grip game on display is not identified — so the entry sits under Grips, the section it was sent for, and says so plainly. Grip fighting is where stand-up rounds are quietly won; if the detail gets named, the title updates.

Filed descriptively: the reel carries no caption at all. What the record gives is the man — Serrano is a fifth-degree black belt with his own academy, teaching under the banner "Real Jiu Jitsu" with self-defense at its center — and your filing: his grip work, logged under his name on the shelf where the hand fight lives. The entry takes a technique title if one ever surfaces.

Street-side grip work: Yadav, a self-defense creator, defends the handshake — the grab disguised as a greeting. His caption spells it "Esay Hand Shake Defence," and the idea is the shelf's oldest one in civilian clothes: whoever controls the grip controls the exchange, so the defence starts the moment the hand is taken.
