For me, it's going to be about training in a gi but gripping as little as possible. I've been putting too much strain on my fingers for years and I'm starting to pay the price.

Some videos with Professor @Jack Taufer are in the "Premium member courses" classroom. It was such a privilege for me to learn a few techniques from him. He will be in Michigan at Marshall Judo & Jiu Jitsu for a seminar on May 9th.
