NoGi Fundamentals: grip fighting drills

In this class I built up a series of drills using the most basic of nogi grips (thumb grip and cupping hand grip) to achieve various objectives from several positions. The aim of these drill is to see how much we can control our opponent with the bare minimum of grip fighting knowledge. At the end we drilled the Marcelo Garcia, two-on-one grip butterfly sweep. This is a powerful controlling grip and sweep.
