The grip is
the tool for applying forces to the opponent.
Effective
grip allows for attack and provides a defence. Whilst
the modern performance judo favours a great variety
of grips, most of which best serve different tactics
and crafty strategies of both opponents, the fundamental
grip (sleeve-lapel) continues to appear effective
for all purposes (as being proved by the proponents
of conventional Judo in the strenuous contests against
representatives of unorthodox Judo).
