Here’s the thing: your technique can, overall, be extremely good – but if you don’t know how to grip (and how to break grips), you’re going to have a really tough time.
And no, not just when you’re on the ground. But standing, too… Maybe even moreso.
So, here is a great BJJ grip drill that you should do as often as possible. It’ll greatly improve your stand up skills!
