Grip fighting is where the fight begins. Typically when you see world class guys who are evenly matched, the differentiating factor is the grips. Who is able to achieve the most dominant grip, and who is able to maintain the best grips.

How often have you tried playing guard or standing and an experienced guy is able to solidify a grip and run around your legs or take you down? We're here to tell you that this is occurring not because your guard is bad or because their passing is good, it is because you lost the initial grip fight.

All to often we neglect the fundamentals of gripping and don't realize how imperative it is to know the function of a grip. Gripping is the single most important detail to every aspect of Jiu Jitsu, passing, guard, throws, takedowns, and even some submissions.

Travis has a scientific approach on how to grip, when to grip, what to grip and why we grip. He is able to breakdown exactly what the best grips are from a standing position, from the guard, and while passing. So whether you are a guard passer, former wrestler, guard player, or all of the above, you will learn.

One of the most neglected aspects of gripping is being able to develop a gripping system. We assume that grips are par for the course with Jiu Jitsu and that they are part of techniques, not a technique in itself.

What we mean by this is that just like you have a passing system, guard system, or leg lock system you need to have a gripping system. We know, it's really difficult, that's why we're hear to save you some time.

Travis has done the work for you. Travis has spent years and years developing a high level gripping system and now is your opportunity to enhance your grips and learn his gripping system.

Travis knows that if he grabs a particular grip from guard, standing or passing, his opponent will react one of a few ways and when they do, this leads him to his next attack.
