I have been studying grips from since about Christmas. There is a theory that grips are most important technique you can learn in Judo because it is the best way to dominate a fight and will ultimately get your opponent:

1. Where you want him to throw or;
2. At least disable him / her from preforming a technique on you

It’s definitely worth knowing gripping strategies for Judo as they will enhance your game. Check out this book called Grips (Judo Masterclass Techniques) compiled by Neil Adams. It’s not a comprehensive glossary on grips as there are so many combinations but it will definitely worth a purchase as it encloses many grip strategies and describe how to lead into related Te-Waza techniques from them.

It covers the standard grip, double lapel grip and Russian style, over-the-back grips. Also covered is how to remove a grip and examples of illegal grips (handy to know to avoid those Shidos!). Check it out!
