If it does not have a name already I would call it butterfly grip or moth grip. It reminds me of the butterfly shadow puppet.

It all comes down to grip strength, being able to make grips work no gi and stuff...

The last grip is a modified HALF nelson, and nelsons work in freestyle so its prob gonna work in no gi too.

Its called a butterfly lock. Super common in wrestling. He actually uses a powerhalf to get to it in a few vids.
