[@KeepGoingLarryB]

Grip Break #1 0:17 Grip Break #2 1:58 Grip Break #3 3:48

[@SV-bo8yn]

I also really appreciate the personal notes in your videos. Like the fact you said that you dislike #3, explained why and told us who used it. Those are the little things we don't get taught by an average sensei, but only by a pro.

[@alLEDP]

Right?and I find that he improved a lot singe sparring this Channel!!!

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

I'm glad you like those little details!

[@matheusgarcia2766]

With grip break #3, BJJ white belts will be able to not only break the grip but also knock out the opponent via elbow to the face

[@BillHallProductions]

As a high school football player "I've never been called for it" really resonates with me

[@theonobody]

Brilliant, finally an end to my frustrations with a certain guy in my club!

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Awesome! Let me know how it goes when you get back to training!

[@exterminateurdeverminesetd1272]

it seems like everybody loves the third one! I do too, can't wait to try it! Thanks a lot from Belgium for your work sir, you get one more subscriber!

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Thanks for the sub Tommy!

[@zzz_ttt_0091]

Thank you. The last one is good

[@christulloch3473]

Grip break #3 looks awesome I really can't wait for to get back to training and try this. Shame all bjj/judo is shutdown because of Covid.

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Agreed it's terrible for everyone! I'm just glad I can provide some outlet for people to keep learning.

[@Ninja9JKD]

I like number 3 :), I'm gonna call this one Takagi Yo Te. Thank you for sharing!

[@raphaelgracia551]

I fell in love with #3. Gonna try it as soon as judo restarts.

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Awesome. Please let me know how it goes!

[@stevenkeolasaito9353]

Thank you for the great video! We worked on this with my sons today! 🙂

[@nourddineherbouch67]

Really niiiiiice stuff, thanks Stevens

[@chrismaks2518]

That "shield" grip break # 3 is right up my alley.

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Oh I hate it!

[@jamesjDTC]

Nice content! way of explainin' is pretty easy to understand! please more of it✌kumi kata is so important

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Thank you! Will do James!

[@aaronholland2771]

Very helpful, thank you 💪 any favorites for breaking cross collar grip?

[@LyamQ]

Really great information! Super useful! Thanks for sharing!

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

I'm glad you like it!

[@josecortez2526]

Great tips for grip breaking. Thanks you

[@Marcnshae2011]

Thx Travis! Awesome!

[@---Jaime-MEXICO-1962]

I love your videos !!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇲🇽🙋🏻‍♂️🥋

[@josephlabianca9557]

Thanks for the video. I just saw a recent promo you did with BJJ Fanatics where you referenced a “European grip break” however the camera angle didn’t allow us to see. Can you please show this.

[@TheBandrade]

Brilliant!!!

[@claymarrs8902]

Thanks for the instruction. My background is 30 yrs of wrestling(including college). A second degree blackbelt in bjj. But still have issues on some grip breaks involving the belts. When guys on feel tie up, and hold my belt right above my butt. I am short, and long armed opponents can sometimes hold my takedowna at bay holding my belt there. I need to figure out how to clear it. Thanks

[@judojeffro]

Travis: I don't like doing this to other people. ***Ole Bischoff steps onto the mat*** Travis: There are always exceptions.

[@spragnionyWieprz]

Hi Travis! Great content, as always! Is the last one legal according to the latest IJF rules?

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Yes it is but it can be seen as a defensive grip break. So if you do it to much you could get a shido.

[@Sportislife108]

Hi Travis in France and Italy we get thought a combination of your 1 and 3 , with the jam of the sleeves and the rotation of the shoulder , very annoying , thank you great material

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. I hope you guys are staying safe over there in Europe!

[@judoka1979]

Grip #3 is my choice

[@littledemonboy1]

I laughed out loud for “it’s illegal but I’ve never been called for it”

[@jamtmann]

Thank you

[@shawncarter253]

These grip breaking videos are amazing! Please show some grip breaks from bottom pins while being passed? I don't know how to get their hands off my collar to get the grip breaks.

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

I need a little more details to help provide that.

[@shawncarter253]

@@TravisStevensgrappling thank you for the reply. Knee cut, strait collar and near side sleeve. It's the worst when they pull the sleeve to lift my elbow off the mat. I have a hard time breaking either grip.

[@johnathannelsonento2040]

#1 is borderline illegal, but I'm going to try it sometime just for the indignant looks from my opponents. I already use #2 ad I find it pretty effective. I'm going to use 3 all the time!

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

I've never been called for the first one. I'm not sure what is Illegal about it. I know I put my thumb in but like I said Ive never been called for it.

[@steveesquivel4723]

Great techniques here Travis, too bad I've never even been taught any of these from the beginning. If I ever start up at another school leaving my green belt at home and starting over again 😂👍

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Steve you earned the belt you should keep and just keep improving!

[@Mattytars]

Grip break 3 looks like it really works quite effectively. Question: is it a shido to use that technique??

[@diegoenrique4510]

Yes because you can unnecessarily twist your partner's fingers, or elbow his face

[@ForzaTerra89]

I tried the 3rd one today against my teacher and immediately got thrown when I went for it hahaha I grabbed my gi and as I turned to try and strip it he put his leg across for a tai o toshi

[@jayfliplee]

Hi Travis Would you be able to go into a bit more detail about why you hate grip break number 3? Thanks!

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Yeah I can talk about it a little bit.

[@counterhit121]

Bjj guy learning judo here. The grip we're breaking here, from ai yotsu, looks like a straight arm post that I mainly see when stalling. Do the grip breaks work as well for when opp has straight lapel or cross collar grip with his lead/power hand? Those are the grips I find myself having to deal with much more than the rear hand straight lapel grip. Thx

[@RIZWANKILLS]

Bruv thanks a lot for all this gold information ❤❤❤

[@konstantinos-antoniosbme-m6472]

To use sode as a counter, how you can brake the lapel? I think you post a similar video but you do not brake the lapel...Very detailed video Travis🤙

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Yeah I have used sode to break the grip as well. It can be super effective but I can't share all my secrets as once LOL.

[@jamtmann]

Nice 👍

[@MarkKislich]

Very interesting

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

I'm glad you think so. Hopefully one of them can work for you.

[@anas1428omair1433]

I think grip break #3 is great ...may be easier for me...!

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

I'm glad someone likes it.

[@Omaukaukau]

Besides the thumb in sleeve for the #1 grip break, is there anything illegal about #2 and #3?

[@Omaukaukau]

@JSL ok cool. Thx

[@SV-bo8yn]

Amazing stuff dude. You should really stop posting these videos because they get me too pumped up to hit the dojo again!!

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

LOL

[@louisedwards3496]

What needs to be my very first reaction as soon as he gets my right lapel (Right vs Right, I have no grips and he only has my front lapel)? I NEED TO KNOW

[@adamburrous3360]

that 3rd grip break is now going to be the only one anyone tries on you for the rest of your life lol

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

They will get a hard right hand down their back if they do. I welcome the challenge.

[@OmegaSupremeWCheese]

Solid Travis good tips man, rock climbers and police have that grip of death that is so hard to break. And who's the guy with the downvote? He probably can't even tie his belt right.

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

LMAO! There is always someone with a down vote! LOL

[@judochemistry]

If you use these grip breaks in international rules, do you have to attack soon after? If you don't will you get a penalty for defensive gripping? When is not ok to use these grip breaks?

[@judochemistry]

Thank you. Let's try to attack the good opponents more!

[@ericjones1876]

Number three acts like a wrist lock- I will warn my training partners prior to executing this grip break. It traps your wrist and is very unpleasant. Maybe a great way to manage that guy that lives and dies with a grip and stagnates the exchanges!

[@Mendleson]

18 months to get a bjj black belt

[@counterkidnapping1737]

Legal in BJJ

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Yes it should be!

[@MrPerutalo]

The more i dont like is to stay for hours in that grip and wasting time

[@kevinomahoney]

Don’t fall on your azz and give the guy two points.

[@---Jaime-MEXICO-1962]

It's illegal!! but who cares !!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🙋🏻‍♂️🇲🇽60years 🥋

[@e4d578]

You shouldn't be advocating that it is ok to illegal moves.
