Hopefully this saves my guitar player fingers from some unneeded abuse! Cheers Tom, from Tom ✌
This is literally why I'm here
100% man, my biggest fear as a guitar player getting into martial arts
Legit here because any finger damage freaks me out
I didnt learn to sweep pick just to undo it in BJJ or I'll go to 10th planet lol
@@jerrymayo2586 🤣
This is great, I used to rock climb and I actually had someone tell me to stop doing open grips, immediately I started getting soreness. This confirms what I had thought previously, thank you.
Thx for this tip. Just starting BJJ and lookin for injury prevention techniques before it is too late.
well done... too late for me...! but know i know... 1 month into it... already two fingers messed up not bad, but that shit hurts... so prevent, prevent
I’m a piano major in college but I love BJJ and want to start training at a gym, but finger injuries is the only thing stopping me. I hope this tip can help me get on the mat and avoid injuries so I can continue playing piano and train at the same time! Thank you for the tip, professor! OSS
did you do it? curious musician as well here
@@hydroturd I stopped unfortunately. Cuz I ended up doing a masters in piano, so piano became even more important to me in life
As a seasoned climber trying out BJJ it was awesome to see the climbing wall behind you haha! Enjoying your videos, cheers mate!
Thanks bro I injured my finger last night and was trying to figure out how, now I know why, I was doing a closed grip on opponents gi.
You're such an engaging personality! Thank you for this video sir! Cheers Mate!
Thanks for the kind feedback and glad you are enjoying the channel! Happy rolling and take care (-: Coach Tom
As a working musician this video might keep me exploring this sport. I love it, but I’ve already done my 10k hours in piano and don’t want to blow it. Thanks Chris!
DUDE!! Thank you for the video. My fingers are currently smashed to bits. Tendons and joints at the top. I'll try this moving forward and see how it fairs
Mate your a legend , I've had savage hands this week from training , fairly new to jitsu and this seems quality advice thank you :-)
The small adjustment that makes a fucking world of difference. Thanks bro.
I just started taking bjj lessons 3 months ago. My fingers start to hurt indeed. I see on youtube that the "finger thing" is a very common question in the bjj community. Thank you for the tip sir. I will definitely try it.
That’s great idea. I’ve had the same problem with stand up fighting in Kenpo with no gloves.
I often get my fingers hyper extended with getting caught in the other guys gi.
Hey, Coach. Thank you for this tip. I just started training gi and have been gripping with an open palm from the start. I have been getting deep cuts/burns on my first knuckles (right below my fingernails) from using this grip. How do you deal with all that? I feel like it will never fully heal if I keep training. How does that work? Thank you!
P.s. Please help me by upvoting so Coach Tom can see the comment, it might be useful to more people. Cheers!
Let time make calluses then no more pain and cut knuckles
Thanks so much gonna apply this tomorrow
Super helpful thank you. My fingers keep getting injured after practice
Thank for the tips!!
Thank you for this info.
Great content, thanks 😊
Just had an appointment with the ortho for mallet finger I got from using a closed death grip this past Saturday. I'll definitely be employing this open grip technique from now on.
Thank u for this tip!
lol i wish i found this video before I dislocated and sprained my right index, middle finger and my left thumb
Thankyou
Awesome!!! Ty brother 🤙🏽
This is great advice! Do you have anymore advice for people like musicians who rely on there hands to make a living but love BJJ?
You can actually wear gloves for ultimate protection but staying at nine tenths intensity will do wonders. One of my brown belts made a living from teaching piano so I know your struggles! Happy rolling (-: Tom Davey
@@TheGrapplingAcademy Thank you!
Hey hi! I am a musian too; english is not my first language so... can you help me here please? The sentence "staying at nine tenths intensity will do wonders" is like to use less energy maybe? Can you please clarify to me mate? Thanks! And how is your journey at BJJ. Any injury so far to the hands? I did some experimental classes and I liked it a lot, but have fear for my hands. I love to play so much. I don't know if it's worth the risk! Thank you again!
Great advice! And it's fun to do :-) Thanks!
Awesome advice I really hope this works
Thank you man.
thank you sooooo much
Do you have any suggestions on how to train the open grip at home? Is it hanging from a pull up bar with open grip a good exercise?
Great question and yes you can train in this way for sure. Other tips include just pulling on your own gi sleeves or pants or doing pull ups with an open grip using your gi although this is obviously slightly advanced per se. Have fun developing super strong grips and keeping your fingers safe! (-: Coach Tom
Thanks coach!!!
thank you!!!
Bang on mate, thanks!
Great stuff John, happy training (-: Coach Tom
Thank you!
Thank you For this information , was very import for me friend =D
Great stuff. Have fun training and keep those fingers safe! (-: Coach Tom
Thank you very much! Oss
this is great advice i will start trying this! Do those grippers/grip strength trainers do anything for grip strength as it pertains to bjj?
thx man..
Nice: after ten years, even being careful to avoid stuff like spider guard and the like, I've finally got to a stage where the finger mashing has become painful enough to have an impact on my game. So, definitely giving the 'open grip' thing a try tomorrow! :)
Great stuff. You will feel big differences in your fingers immediately. Have fun with it (-: Coach Tom
+The Grappling Academy I certainly hope so. Oh, and I saw this via Reddit, where a few people are asking questions: www.reddit.com/r/bjj/comments/6b436z?sort=confidence
Great to see the community discussing this topic! Got to keep those fingers safe! Happy rolling (-: Coach Tom
I wonder if this can be trained by gripping pull-up bars with an open grip 🤔
had my thumb ligament snapped from gripping a forearm (no gi). How would you recommend grabbing someone's forearm to avoid this?
Wow, that injury sucks! For me Dutchy R I personally only grip the forearm or wrist in no gi if I have 2 hands to grip it with, otherwise (simply for security purposes) I would use overhooks and underhooks instead. That sounds like an odd injury so I hope it heals quickly for you so you can get back to having fun on the mats (-: Coach Tom
This channel!!!!!
Good thing i saw this video now that I’m only a first division white belt one question though can my grip get stronger simply by using open grip and not rock climbing
Yes.
how do you train the open grip at home if you are not doing rock climbing?
Wish i'd heard this earlier on in my BJJ journey
I come back to this video again and again, but I must not be doing it right because my fingers still hurt. How curved or curled are your fingers while gripping this way? Mine are pretty curled and I'm noticing I feel pain in the last digit of my fingers; especially my ring fingers.
🔥
So do we need to actually do rock climbing? Or just understand the grip?!
Lifting weights and rock climbing helps grip immensely!
i was training bjj & i went in to grab my training partner's gi, she lunged forward at the same time & caused my thumb to bend back, tearing my thumb ligament (second time i tear ligaments,first time was work related). do you recommend taping thumb? ive seen finger taping videos but cant seem to find much on thumb taping. do you have a video on it?
Hi Kimberley. Sorry I do not have a video on that as it isn't an area of my expertise however when students of mine get thumb injuries. We tend to make the student wear a large boxing glove and then NOT use that hand for a while. This will make you work your bottom game a lot more and you will see real improvements without further injury risk. Good luck and fast healing! (-: Coach Tom
Watching this after my finger got fractured
My finger still hurting after 2 years what should I do 😑
Do you use the open grip even in competitions?
Yes. Gripping becomes instinct eventually. (-: Tom Davey
@@TheGrapplingAcademy Thanks for your reply! : ) I have been trying this grip for a while, and I do feel that its a fairly strong grip for sleeves but I do feel that its alot harder to control the opponent in the front lapel for Judo throws/sweeps, is this something you recognize? Any advice on this? : )
Thanks!
Doesnt it make a difference when doing collar chokes?
I still hold mostly open grips even when choking but different gis and grips can require different gripping strategies. Find what works for you between grip strength and finger safety (-: Tom Davey
I have been waking up with my fingers having a numbing sensation. Have you ever experienced that?
Hmm, the only people I know who wake up with numb hands are on HGH lol!!!!! MAybe ask a doc! (-: Professor Tom Davey
Let me guess, roll no gi
