Grasping block only creates a bare-minimum connection, which offers its own advantages:
-*Grasping blocks requires less grip strength than regular grabs. This prevents forearm tension and fatigue, allowing grasping blocks tp be maintained indefinitely without slowing down counterattacks.

Your hand will not slide off the opponent’s arm, because your Unbreakable Circle will catch on the flanged base of your opponent’s hand.
