Daniel Strauss (aka The Raspberry Ape) is a BJJ black belt under 10x World Champion Roger Gracie. But he’s also a very serious advocate of strongman training including the development of crazy levels of grip strength.
In today’s podcast we start with Daniel’s victory over Olympic gold medalist Satoshi Ishii at Polaris 8 and his BJJ competition strategy.
After talking gi vs no gi, competition strategy and more we switch gears.
A big part of this podcast is a deep dive into strength training for grappling and for strongman competition. There’s a TON of information about grip strengthening in this section as well…
I think you’ll really like this one!
