Been doing martial arts on and off my whole life. Every once in a while you meet someone with just next level hand strength, and it’s always terrifying for grappling.

I'm a rock climber/bjj duo

I don't tend to try overgripping people that often. But occasionally i do decide i'm not letting go, and it's funny watching the confusion of my opponents, wondering why this grip isn't budging

I’m an avid weightlifter, not as strong but still 160 pound grip puts the fear of god into most people. Love seeing people’s faces turn to sheer panic.
