I understand this video was intended to assist the righty vs the lefty, but it’s also improving my perspective vice-versa. I’m natural righty but often grip lefty (old habits from striking background). There are some Eastern European judokas that love the big overhand grip at the dojo, the “whizzer” mentioned here would certainly be a great counter to it. Thanks Sensei. 🙏 🥋

[@lepeachmo8612]

Thank you for the amount of content you drop recently. Makes it easier to stay at home.

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Glad you're finding it helpful!

[@fenek6665]

Thanks for the another great video. I hope you are safe and healthy during epidemic :)

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Things are going well. Just had to move into a home office which slows everything down.

[@steveesquivel4723]

Great strategy video here. Definitely saving this one to study up with when it's time for randori.

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Great! Let me know how it goes when you get back on the mats.

[@counterkidnapping1737]

I'm going to Kesa gatame the Corona virus and make it tap. Wish me luck coach. Oh, and I like that whizzer thing, it's easier just like in wrestling

[@Ownedyou]

Im right handed, but for some reason I always start the gripping from a lefty stance. Both the step behind Ura-Nage and Tani Otoshi are moves I hit regularly. Guess not anymore now that the secret to countering is out! Thanks Travis! :D

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Your welcome. Now you can broaden your horizons and add to your game.

[@tomsamsungandroid5402]

Beautiful! I'm missing my dojo because I want to check your advises during randori.

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

When your able to go back let me know how it goes I would love to hear.

[@benkeating3053]

good ol' arm trap tai. ;) I've got a question: im in a turtle (flat or ball) and i'd like to get back to tachiai. options?

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

Do you mean how to get back up to your feet quickly so the red says matte?

[@callumthejudo696]

Could you do a nogi footsweep video in the gi I'm pretty good but without it I can't get the right kuzushi to make the technique feel nice and smooth

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

I’m sorry you want me to shoot a nogi video while wearing a gi?

[@callumthejudo696]

@@TravisStevensgrappling no without I should of put a fullstop haha. no gi footsweep without the gi from collar tie, over/under, during pummelling. Basically from wrestling positions but travis stevens style

[@konstantinos-antoniosbme-m6472]

Tricky👍👍👍

[@TravisStevensgrappling]

I love that grip!

When I read the title I thought this was gonna be some self-defense tutorial for Rush Limbaugh fans. :)
