How do you make your Grip really strong. Could ya'll tell me some exercises. Thanks.
You need to build bigger forearms for better grip strength. Wrist curls, reverse wrist curls, reverse grip curls.
you forgot the finger curles ( only use youe fingers from tip to base to roll the weight with)
Finger tip pushups do it as well. Man I hate doing those in class!!

Try this. While you are gripping something relax you arm muscles at the same time. You should fell your grip become stronger.
See you on the mat soon

IMO, the technique of gripping is as important as the strength of the grip.
As far as developing strength, WCer's Lap-Sao excercise supposedly works well for developing a good grip.

Geoff Thompson makes this point in his Greco=Roman wrestling takedowns book.
I've always thought grip strength was very important--at least, for how I like to fight.

How do you guys rate these hand grip thingies?
I know a few people that use them. None of them has the perseverance to use them regularly though so they can't really assess their effectiveness.

They're OK, but I find the squeeze balls work better for me.
After a broken arm at age 12, I used these for physical therapy and to build strength back up in the arm.

After a shattered hand at 13 years old, I walked around squeezing a tennis ball, I then worked up to a raquet ball. As I got older and started working with handtools (mechanical and carpentry) I found my grip strength improved. If you do not have the ability to walk around gripping a small ball or to use tools a lot, another good one is simply to flex your hands (open up to full extension and close to full tightness)both aerobically and isometrically.

Split wood. An oldie but a goodie!
Get yourself a round peice of wood, like a broom stick or kali stick. The kali stick will be about the right length, however if it's broom stick or such like, you'll have to cut it to size.
Tie a peice of string around the stick, that is long enough to reach the ground when you stand with your arms straight out in front of you. Now tie a weight to the end of it, and with arms out straight, roll it all the way down, and all the way up.
Do this a few times a day, man what a burn
This is a gentler version than was first shown to me by a friend. He lived in a second story apartment, and every morning as soon as he got up, he'd go out on the balcony and roll it all the way to the ground and all the way up 5 times each. It weighed 10 kilograms as well, which is no mean feat by anyones standards.
Another technique, I have seen is to take a newspaper and lay it out flat on a bench. Now take a corner of the top page between your thumb and index finger, and with your wrist against the bench top, screw the page into the smallest possible ball. Then use the other hand to do the next page.
These are both cheap and nasty exercises, but sometimes they are the best kind
Good luck

Yea. Good stuff. A strong grip is something to not mess around with. Like, if your grip is strong, an opponent will find it terribly hard to counter a throw or whatever.

1) You go to a music/guitar store and ask to buy a grip strengthener. You squeeze it.
2) As for those balls, you can make your own. Cut the necks off two balloons. Fill one with sand or rice. Pull the other one inside-out over the first, so that they cover each others' holes an the stuff stays inside. DO NOT use these for more than ten minutes a day per hand. I once used them way to much, it'll actually break down the muscles from fatigue.
3) Here's an alive, 3-diimensional drill for grip strength. It's my personal favourite grip strength exercise. A goes into basic low mount position on B. A has rubber knife in one hand. B has A's wrist (on that side) in his grip. On go, A tries to stab the poop out of B. He can transfer the knife to the other hand. B can transfer his grip as well. After 60s, switch.
