Alrighty. Well, to be honest, there are about a million variations with sleeve and lapel and all that, but Ill describe one thats worked well for me.

This one is for a right hander's stance so you start off with you right hand on his left lapel, and your left hand on his right sleeve. Keeping you right hand where it is, pull down hard with it and send your left hand over the back and on the left side of his head. Grab the belt and switch stance to a lefty stance with left foot forward. From here, do a snap jolt with both hands to offset the balance, and as he adjusts, send your left leg out past his left leg and hook on, and from there pull hard with your right hand in the driving direction and hop off your right back foot. Sometimes it can be good to get extra leverage by switching your right hand from a left lapel to left left sleeve just as the drive commences. Its messy but if you do it fact it really catches them by surprise. Drive all the way from there and if you got the set up right you'll get something. Its hard to ippon with it as they tend to fall not flat, but you have great vantage point to get a good newaza positiion.

What is the rule on the Russian grip,meaning how long can you hold it?

Isn't it illegal to get a belt grip to stall out?

6 seconds if you grip the sleeve and same side of the belt over the head, as long as you want if you go the other side of the head as far as I know.

Watch both Saito and Yamashita going nuts at the side, especially Yamashita fater it was over, and then the tv presenter at the end crying. Bloody brutal, Shinohara in true Japanese fashion refused to be bitter about the decision but he knows he won.

Douillet lost a lot of fans in world judo for his behavior in the aftermath. Apparently he ridiculed Yamashita's behavior which is not a good thing to do to say the least.
