Grip first: Korean JUDO tactic; close and control the space

Aki isn't Korean (he is Japanese) But training at Kokushikan High/University and competing regularly in Japan he experienced great Judoka visiting regularly for their Tokyo experience in Judo.

Is he saying that if you control the collar, then step in to attack but if you have the sleeve, make distance?

[@JudoLife]

No. More like Aki is showing the tactic of closing space to obtain effective sleeve grip rather than reaching out.
So:
Opposite collar grab to dominate a sleeve grip, closing the space then dominating sleeve.
