I really enjoyed this episode. I’ve been watching all the clips you’ve been posting then rewatching the episode. Being a BJJ and Judo enthusiast might have something to do with it.
and even then, from what i've learn from kayla harrison's judo clinic at my club, gripping is traditionally been somewhat a loose set of "best practices" if you will. it was only fairly recently that american judokas developed a true gripping system and that has lead to a fairly good amount of success for american judokas. in fact, i distinctly remember kayla harrison saying that she credits most of her success to the american gripping system. this makes a lot of sense if you think about it because at the level of judo that these guys are competing at, everyone has amazing throws that they've perfected and they're all strong as hell with incredible conditioning. so the best ways for them to get an edge over their opponents is through gripping and body positioning; and each competitor has a wildly different set of preferred grips and body positions due to the throws they like to do.

Never start a fight with a person that has cauliflower ear.
Unless the other person has also cauliflower ear.
Cauliflower ear? The guy has cauliflower face!
@Lion718 tough son of a gun. That's for sure.
Should’ve done this interview on the mat
A handshake that could kill. Let em know that we have a firm grip on thanngs!!!
Mad grips!
Grip = control
I thought this was going to be some philosophical question like "what does it mean to grip something", or "how can robots grip things"
But.... can Judoka's grip someone that has no sleeves? I noticed they tape their pinky and ring finger together so as to not break them.
Yes they can. Pretty much any Judo technique can be applied to a "no jacket" situation with minimal modifications.
you can, although it would obviously be more restrictive and closer distance to the opponent
Look into no gi judo just like no gi bjj
Head, shoulders, knees and toes
The universe is so grip
I’m amazed lex as a black belt isn’t aware of these concepts Travis talks about .
he's a black belt in BJJ. not sure if he's a black belt in judo.
@@minhquando100 the concepts of head position, gripping, balance, kuzushi are all the same in bjj.

@@minhquando100 its the concepts behind the gripping not the actual technique itself.
Both Kayla & Travis trained under Jimmy Pedro Jr who was great at promulgating gripping concepts
