I've seen some instructors advocate gripping a weapon or grabbing an opponent's limb with all fingers engaged, theory being you have more strength if you use your whole hand.

Yet others prefer to concentrate on the thumb and middle finger as the core elements of a weapons grip, using the other fingers to guide and control the weapon or opponent.

Likewise, I've also see some cloth grabs with the thumb across the fingers in the closed-fist grip and others use the thumb more as a pincer alongside the closed forefinger.

What do you do and why?
